Tuesday’s schedule was decided the night before because the weather forecast promised 43 degrees Celsius for Adelaide. It was going to be driving day for us. Staying and walking around city would be murder. First stop Mount Lofty’s Summit. You got a real nice view of the city from there, but getting really good photos was not that easy. This girl from Fidzi it was her first time traveling aboard, she was so excited to be there that she had her photo taken with a flag. I had to capture her joy. The color coordinated couple, no other reason than that.
From there you got a good overview of the city. Next stop historical German city of Hahndorf. Hahndorf was picturesque but it’s hard to get good pics because the parked cars ruin the view, ours included. We did manage to get a few.
Being off-season Hahndorf was quiet besides the lunch hour, when it was hard to find parking. And it was so damn hot that we didn’t walk around as much as we would have wanted. Instead we parked ourselves to a small café for strawberry smoothies and shared a piece of cake. As you can see from the photographs it was an old town with nice historic details all around. Antique stores were fun to go through.

Nice post with lovely photos.
Thanks, Glad you enjoyed it.
What a wonderful sweltering vacation! We spent last summer in weeks of triple digits Fahrenheit, which is unusual for the Sacramento area. I’m sure it’s not global warming 😂!!!
I am happy to hear that global warming has nothing to do with 😀 …. yeah, it is causing lots of unpredictable weather. Fortunately the first few days in Adelaide area were the worst.
I’m glad the weather got better for you. Our next vacation is scheduled for October, through the Panama Canal, providing Trump hasn’t caused the havoc he’s ranting about.
I do hope he hasn’t, I have as a kid come through the canal as we had a cruise from Australia to London
😢
Hahndorf looks very picturesque but I can understand why you didn’t want to walk around a lot in 43 C – I wouldn’t either!
What a charming city!
