I've lost count regarding what day we are on so I'm going to stop commenting about it. Travelling across the country and not working, everyday seems like a Saturday. Our next phase of the road trip took us to Adelaide where we were staying with Mel and Tony in the Adelaide Hills. For the few nights spent there, tony and I definitely smashed the wine cellar.
First day in Adelaide we wanted a break from long drives so we headed to Norwood to try the SA delicacy being a Pie Floater. Tony took us to the Enjoy Bakery in Norwood which serves pie floaters 24/7. The place looked dodgy on the outside but when we ventured in it was an impressive bakery with a wide variety of cakes. Tony and I went for the pie floater. Now I was a bit surprised as I thought floaters were covered in gravy. We went for a traditional meat pie (and it was round, was getting worried that square pies were taking over). She put it in a bowl and covered it with mushy peas and added a squirt of tomato sauce and vinegar (I did wonder how they served it if i asked for takeaway).This is what e local recommended so we went with it. We also had to have a stubby of farmers union coffee to accompany it.
Now to look at a floater it doesn't look appetising but after you get past that they really do taste amazing. They actually make a nice meat pie there but I have to put off scoring it as this was a gourmet pie (I would recommend there plain pie as it was better than Barmera Bakery). Heidi was even getting stuck into the mushy peas and then we washed it down with 750ml of farmers. The pie kept me full all day and night, but I think it was due to the ice coffee. Btw hazel had an awesome tandoori sausage roll, you should definitely go there for that.
After another night of coopers and barossa reds the next day was Hahndorf a sleepy German village in the Adelaide hills. As we waited for Mel and Tony to sort out there new car we had some lunch in the Hahndorf Inn. Seeing German meals are large we decided to get one dish between the three of us. We selected there signature dish being the 1m Bratwurst Hotdog. It came out and it was huge. In a metre long French roll it had 2 massive sausages covered in sauerkraut. Heidi couldn't believe her eyes. After polishing that off we headed with Mel and tony to the giant rocking horse. This is in the Hills and next to the Adelaide toy factory. As we were waiting to get in we spotted a koala bear in the wild. Now I thought these things were slow but it was sprinting along the ground trying to find a tree to climb into, it was awesome getting some close ups.
When we visited the Toy factory we saw it had a wildlife park where you could feed the animals. Tony and I passed the feed bucket to Hazel after the lady told us the animals recognise it and will be all over you. Have to say there were some crazy animals there. I couldn't get rid of an alpaca and goat who wanted my food and tony had Heidi riding a kangaroo (which she enjoyed). The day finished catching up with Si for a few quiet beers in a pub in Adelaide ( great bar but I can't remember the name) and shockingly if finished off with some more barossa reds. The next day it was time to leave and Heidi as usual was milking the attention from Mel and Tony. The next part of our road trip was to take us up past port Augusta and outback SA before hitting the Nullarbor.
