16/04/12 - The hunt for the Leafy Seadragon continues

All the gear, but no idea
 The plan was for a large drive today, and as such it was another dawn rise. Before getting properly on the road, Tony couldn’t resist giving the Leafy Seadragon another shot – braving freezing temperatures with gogglecam – but no joy.
Going straight for danger!

Mt Lofty in the Adelaide Hills
Seeing double?
A long way to Perth! And
Darwin, for that matter...
Clever Llama - run away!











Wine, great views - content 
100 year old port - content
Got slightly lost in the Adelaide Hills, and then waylaid in the Barossa Valley. A travel brochure listed 101 things to do that we’d narrowed down to ten, but since that involved a couple of wineries we were never going to get away quickly! 






Pizza awards
Pizza done - guilty,
but content
Add to that Maggie Beer’s farm shop , the winner of the best pizza slice in Australia (2009) and a delightful vanilla slice, and we were destined to stay there the night. Now we were one day and 5 hours behind the initial schedule…






 Key learnings
1.       There is a best pizza slice competition in Australia. The winners do excellent pizza. How Tony didn’t know about this before amazes…
2.       100 year old port is lovely, but perhaps not quite worth $300 for a 100ml bottle. Resisted the temptation to buy, went with a $32 750ml bottle instead!
3. Annaliza + wineries = time lost.
