We arrived Adelaide at 11.30am local time. Ashley was very cheeky in the plane. While the plane was descending and "suffered" some turbulence, Ashley was acting all dramatic (as though we were going to crash). She wasn't really scared because she was smiling while wailing for help. It did however upset some other kids. Aih.....my girl la. From the airport, it was a short drive to the hotel where we were to call home for the next 3 days. It was a nice and spacious hotel. (Hotels in Australia are not very impressive one lor. The buffet breakfast is always the same and it is not complimentary- bacon, scrambled egg, mushroom, baked beans, hot dog and cereal). In my opinion, India is still at the top when it comes to hospitality and service. Anyway, Joanna came to meet us at noon and I was glad that Ashley immediately took a liking to her kaima.
We took a public bus to Handorf, which is a German themed village. The journey was about 1 hour from the city. We started off with the petting farm (Joanna's suggestion because she thinks Ashley will enjoy it). It was a small farm but rather interesting for Ashley. Then we took a slow walk along the main streets and tried out some German food and bakery. I love the handmade cuckoo clock and it was not too expensive too. We couldn't buy it though because we can't drill any nails into the walls of our rented home. Perhaps one day, when we could afford to buy our own home. Overall, it was a lovely place but the travelling and sight seeing finally took a toll on me. I was so exhausted by the end of the day.
Ahh......come to me, sleep.
