Hahndorf-Australia's Oldest German Town

Welcome to Hahndorf!

We ate here at Muggleton's. We had a coupon from the Entertainment book (yes, they have them here too!). I wanted a picture by the sign because it reminded me of something that would have been in Harry Potter! For those non-Harry Potter lovers, a muggle is a non-magic person, so I thought Muggleton's was a fun name!

Me on Main Street, Hahndorf is actually just one street long!

It is fall here in Australia, so this is me and a fall leaf!

Justin and I traveled about 30 minutes away this weekend to Hahndorf, a small town known as Australia's oldest German town. It pretty much consisted of one street, but it was quaint with cute little shops and cafes. Justin's boss is out of town this week, so we had the company car to drive up there. It was a beautiful fall day (not really cold, but we were able to see all of the trees changing colors). We attempted to go pick fresh strawberries, but since we had some pretty bad weather the last couple days with lots of rain, a bit of hail, and "freezing" temperatures, the season was closed early. We have to go back in November to pick any fresh strawberries!

Justin was in Melbourne on Friday and Saturday, so we had to do just a mini trip this weekend. Our anniversary is this Sunday the 25th, so we are going to a place called Morialta to go hiking and wildlife watching and then we are coming back into the city for a nice dinner! Justin might have more in store, but these are our main plans! It isn't very romantic, but we are in Australia, so we need to see as much as possible! I am very surprised with how much there is to do in Adelaide. You don't really ever hear about it, but there are TONS of things to do around this place!

On another note, things are starting to get a bit more settled around here. We have the Internet, a washer and dryer, our visas, and I am officially registered with the country of Australia to practice OT. Now, I am just waiting to get all of my information and papers I need to get registered with the state of South Australia. So hopefully in about a month or so I can get a job! I have started the job hunt and have applied for four jobs so far. I have yet to hear anything back! I will keep you all posted on the job status.

That is about it from here! We will add new pictures next weekend I am sure as we are going on another adventure! We miss you all!
