Mt Lofty and Mt Lofty Botanic Gardens

























A bitterly cold day. We hired a car to visit the gorgeous Adelaide Hills - about a 25 minute drive from the city. Less than 24 hours later, it was snowing up here. Bit annoyed that we missed that, but really driving in snow would not have been a good move for us novice snow people!
It was cold. So cold that we ran around the Botanic Gardens for all of about 15 minutes. I did have 4 layers of clothing, including 2 layers of merino, but was still cold! Pity I had left my big black jacket back at the hotel. I was pleased though at my last minute throw into luggage hat and scarf!
I'm sure the rest of the gardens were beautiful - they'd be much nicer in warmer weather!
The views of Adelaide from Mt Lofty were so-so in the cold and misty weather.
We jumped in the car and went off to... IKEA! (no IKEA in NZ, so a treat for us... hee hee)

  1. Ikea is always a treat! It is so lovely to see daffodils again, I love them and miss them during the summer, but one of the things that I love about blogging is that I get to see them in the summer again because of my antipodean blogging friends! I think it was probably good that you missed the snow, it isn't any fun to drive in!!

  2. I think it snowed everywhere yesterday. Apparently it snowed here too but we slept in and missed it.
