Birthday weekend

Tiger Airlines had a sale recently and we managed to get very cheap return flights to Adelaide for a weekend away to celebrate Sally's birthday. (Gerard, you must tell Conor there's an airline in Australia called Tiger!!!) It has been nearly 20 years since Sally was last there, and I had only been for a conference. Our good friend Luke (Sally's twin) now lives there and not only did he put us up for the weekend, but was the perfect tour guide. It was an extremely indulgent weekend with lots of excellent wine and exquisite food. Here we are at The Greedy Goose, apparently it won a state-wide competition as the best restaurant.




The lookout from Mt Lofty. Unfortunately it was very foggy that day.




Of course no visit to Adelaide is complete without going to the Barossa Valley. Luke took us to a few of his favourite wineries, he was an excellent tour guide and chaffeur. Our taste buds definitely enjoyed the wine, but our wallet is still recovering.




We didn't realise Maggie Beer has a shop in the Barossa. Not only is the food absolutely delicious, it was all in a beautiful setting.



On the way to the airport, we saw a luxury car shop which was very appropriately called "The Toy Shop"
