M and I are trying to find new places to drive to since he has to drive a certain number of km each year as part of his lease. Today we went to Ardrossan (circled in red, click for a larger map), which is on the Yorke Peninsula. I’d never been there before, so I had no idea what it was going to be like.
I was very pleasantly surprised - it’s a beautiful spot. Unfortunately I forgot to take my camera so I don’t have any photos, but I’m hoping that we’ll go back sometime soon, so I’ll take some then. There were a lot of people fishing and crabbing on the jetty, and the water was crystal clear and so blue. Next time I think some paddling will be in order.
It made us think that it would be nice to have a holiday house there and spend a weekend there every now and then. But we’ve got so much that we want to do to the house we’re living in, that I doubt that will happen!
Tomorrow we’re going to go to Hahndorf for lunch, and then go into the city for some shopping. It seems somehow wrong that we ‘have’ to do all this driving (since we’re considerably worse off if we don’t), but I’m actually really enjoying it, because I’m seeing a lot more of SA than I ordinarily would have.

mmmm, crabbing…
That place sounds beautiful. And crystal clear water is definitely a good thing - gotta watch out for those sharks!

I’ll brave the long and expensive flight when you throw your first holiday house house warming party- but, I will insist that you get male strippers

Dawn: Yes indeed, I couldn’t help but think about it when I saw people swimming.
Fash: Oh ok, but only because you asked for them
