Day 14 - Adelaide to Angaston
Got woken up at 6 am by the train attendants with tea. Convenient, though much too early. Once we were somehow awake, the train manager announced that there have been problem with one of the motorails (which provide energy to the train when stopped) during the night and they had to pull it out of the train leaving us with a whooping two hour delay. So no reason to hurry for breakfast.
Came into Adelaide around 11:30. Took the shuttle bus which dropped us off in front of the rental location. Very nice and much cheaper than taking a cab. Our third Ford Falcon in a row. It seems that Hertz has only one kind of car in Australia.
Driving through Adelaide traffic to the Barossa valley was fine. Once all the places start to sound Geman, you are there. Strange to see a Schaedel Street (in Tanunda) or some wineries having all german names here in the probably most remote place in the world.
Dropped into another nice B&B. Tomorrow we are going on an all-day wine tour (fortunately enough there will be a bus provided).
Ah yes, celebrated another birthday. The big four is closing in… Thanks to everyone that texted me best wishes.
