Hahndorf Strawberries

Where have I been for four days? On a blog hiatus? Usually, when I'm away for a few days, it means I'm out having fun. But I always miss my blogging! I need to learn to have fun AND blog at the same time. 

The soon-to-be Mr. and I had a great weekend. Highlights include:
  • my first massage (I went to the Divine Wellness and Beauty in North Adelaide- thanks to a wonderful Christmas gift from a client). It was a sixty-minute full-body aromatherapy massage. I also got my eyebrows shaped. I could get used to this special treatment
  • finding great deals at Harbourtown. I came home with four shopping bags
  • three showers in one day. On Saturday, I took one after my run, another after I came home post-massage covered in oil and another when I still smelled like oil and needed to wash my hair
  • going to the movies with Al. We saw "No Strings Attached". Good movie.
  • getting Indian food at 10 pm after the movie
  • eating a lot of chocolate (FRUCHOCS!!!) in the movie (and having no appetite for that Indian food)
  • celebrating Valentine's Day one day early
Guess what we did? We picked strawberries! We drove up to Hahndorf in the hills. I've always wanted to go there, but I never had the chance. It was a German settlement in the 1800s, and it still has its ethnic flair. 

While driving up the main road, I saw a Ferrari that said "broke" on the license plate. I thought it was amusing, so I took a picture. I wish the photo turned out better.

That should be better.

We drove to Beerenberg Farm on the edge of town. It was just as cute as I imagined.

Beerenberg sells heaps of different jams, honeys and sauces. You can buy their products all over Adelaide.

We paid $3 each at the front. That got us a wristband and two plastic baskets for our strawberries. We crossed the street and then walked a little more.

I think non-ripe strawberries look interesting.

Does this make anybody want a strawberry?

We easily filled two of these. All together, the strawberries cost us about $20 ($9/kilo). We liked it so much better than going to the grocery stores, because all of the strawberries you pick are good ones. You don't have to worry about getting moldy ones in your basket.

After the farm, we walked around the town.

I want to move here.

We ate lunch at The Haus. If you go to Hahndorf, I strongly recommend it. I ordered roasted pumpkin and feta pizza with pine nuts, baby spinach, pesto and rocket. It was one of the best pizzas I have ever had in my life. Unfortunately, my  half-sun-half-shade lighting didn't help with the photo.

Al ordered a pie from the specials list. He liked it a lot. 
Picture
I took half of my pizza home and ate it for lunch today with some strawberries. Yum!
Picture
We had some other exciting adventures yesterday, including drinking a mammoth-sized iced coffee with Penny and Jamie and seeing our first Fringe show of the season. I'll tell you all about the Adelaide Fringe Festival when we get more time! I also have to remember to blog about iced coffee in Australia, because it makes me laugh every time that I order one. 

I hope I'll have time to blog a lot this week, because we're moving tomorrow! We have to cross our fingers that we have our internet and electricity hooked up ASAP. I'm getting so excited. I'm also looking forward to my day off of work on Wednesday.

Have a wonderful Valentine's Day!
