Michelle's Visit

The last few weeks have been fairly busy ones.

My friend Michelle came over from Scotland to visit.

We squeezed in as much as we could, to show Michelle what Adelaide had to offer. She also managed to see other parts of Oz, such as Alice Springs and Coober Pedy (the Opal Capital of the world), seeing for herself what the Australian Outback has to offer.


























 We managed to let Michelle see and experience the following:

Monarto Zoo, Gorge Wildlife Park, a stage production of Sweeney Todd The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street, The Rocking Horse, The Whispering Wall, an indoor gun range at Marksman Training, Hahndorf, Melba's Chocolate Factory, shopping in the city and as many restaurants as our waistlines could manage.




                          Posing with a selection of firearms, ranging from pistols, to shotguns and desert eagles.

Michelle looked far too happy and comfortable with these firearms!



Hahndorf was quiet, which was a pleasant change. We wandered around for a short time, exploring the main street and various specialty stores, before having yet another yummy meal.





 Always time to pose for the camera!


 Why was I apprehensive? This camel could not have been more gentle. He grabbed my hand by accident, and let go instantly. Beautiful animals!


It was really difficult trying to decide what to suggest to Michelle to see and do, as there is so much to choose from in Adelaide, particularly with such a short visit. We can do all the the things we couldn't manage to do this time, on her next holiday to Oz.

Come back soon Michelle! The house feels so empty without you.

Do you have room for a family of 4? I would love to live there!

We might have to double up ETW, but I'm sure I could make room for you.

You should look into coming over! Even if it is just a holiday. If I win the lotto I will even pay your fares!

Pretty woman!

Looks like it was a pretty wonderful visit...

Hi Pearl. Yeah, she is gorgeous!

Was a great visit, just reminds me of everything and everyone I miss from home.

But in a nice way.
