Hahndorf was a German settlement and as such has a German flavour. German pantry and bakeries were in the main street but we couldnt go past the farm produce for lunch, sitting on the side walk. Coffee cups were dipped in chocolate and we were told that it was fine to lick the cups that everyone else does. I used my spoon to scrape the chocolate off. (more walking required tomorrow)
It has become the place to go on the weekends from Adelaide and has lots of little shops, heaps of eating places and galleries. I am so glad that we are in the caravan as even though I am tempted to buy things, the lack of space and extra weigh is a very good deterrent.
Although I was a little naughty today and bought a jacket off a sale rack, very pretty blue, unfortunately I had to go inside to pay and oh my lordy, what a treasure trove that was and the lady was a very good salesperson, yes I bought another top as well. She wasnt pushy just very helpful.
There was a German shop selling all types of German merchandise from small wooden toys to massive grandfather cuckoo clocks, stunning.
This was the tree lined road out of Hahndorf and on to Woodside and surprise surprise, the GPS lady actually said them correctly!
Woodside had a chocolate factory and a cheese tasting side by side, what more could anyone want (well maybe a nice wine and there was plenty of those in the area too)
Alongside the shop were areas that customers could watch the chocolate being made. Very good marketing as very few people would go to see without buying any and yes, we did buy a few samples.
Getting ready for Easter, these rabbits were about fifteen inches tall, 35cms.
After the chocolate came the cheese and yes, we did buy a couple of blocks of cheese too.
Driving back to the freeway, fuel was advertised at 99.9cents a litre, what a good buy and we did need fuel so a plus for us.
Finished off the day by having dinner with a couple of nieces and one hubby. A good day.
