Day 44 Saturday February 17, 2018. Adelaide, South Australia, Australia

We arrived in Adelaide as scheduled, so we readied ourselves for a long tour day, 8 hours, as we were getting ready, T-Mobile informed us we had service, so Ed sent out messages and we had reply’s right back, and then our youngest son called! Not sure what that will cost, but we don’t care as it all really helped with the homesickness. Thanks kids we really needed that. 

It was a beautiful day, not hot and not cold, we ended with a high of 82F. So off we went for a tour of the winery’s.  The first one was Jacobs Creek. What a pretty place. Very modern, but lots of history.  The story’s of these placeses in Australia have a similar start, like the old west in the US, but the time line is not as long ago. 

 

It had a 300 year old Eucalyptus that was beautiful and these were all over the Barossa Valley. It was a good day and we had a good lunch in another winery. We were suppose to see an old German settlement and I guess if you call driving by on the bus seeing it we did. 

At a stop at a dam, not scheduled, we saw some kangaroos. 

So all and all a good day, bought some wine, came back mellow and had dinner.
