Mount Lofty


This morning we set out for Stirling, not far from Hahndorf in the Adelaide Hills. It is a beautiful village with lots of autumn trees. We bought coffee and pastries and sat in a park and enjoyed them. There was a second-hand bookshop nearby, so we had to have a look. There were a couple of bins out the front with freebies, so we scored a few. We then went inside where we bought a few more. I think we now have about 2 shopping bags full of books so far. We continued on to Mount Lofty, but missed the correct road, but ended up somewhere with great views. Eventually we found the right road and went up. The views of Adelaide are spectacular. We had a late picnic lunch while we were there, then drove on down to Mount Lofty Botannic Gardens. The daffodils and jonquils were starting to flower already.

When we got back to Hahndorf we went to Chocolate@No 5, a cafe that we heard has the best hot chocolate...we just had to try some...it was delicious, Dave had hot choc and I had iced choc...yummmm!
