Left Cairns 4:30pm on Friday 27th May 2005 via Virgin Airlines and arrived at a chilly Adelaide around 10pm. Collected our car rental from Avis, who were good enough to upgrade us to a Commodore with satellite navigation. Didn't realise how useful these are! SB* programmed it to get us to Lyndoch (about 1 hour nth of Adelaide), MDR didn't have to worry about maps or anything, the nice voice on the satnav, which we've dubbed ''Sheree'' after SB's maths teacher, plotted our route and told us when to turn and the distances we needed to travel, a wonderful tool for sure.
Mumsy booked a 3 bdrm holiday house called 'Casa Rossa', through wotif. Our thoughtful hosts had turned on the central heating for us. The house is in a vineyard and is just perfect for us, not only centally heated, it has an open fire and heaters in the bedrooms. Mumsy loves the bath too, where she can thaw out when required.
