Days 3 and 4 - ADELAIDE

So this post is originally from Jan. 4 and 5...but since we didn't have internet, you are getting it a couple days late! Sorry!

Luckily the next couple days of our trip have been a bit more exciting than the first 2! Since Lameroo was only a couple hours away from Adelaide, Sam and I hit the road early and went straight to the Eagle Mountain Bike Park. The National mountain bike championships are at this park...unfortunately Sam will be driving during them so we stopped by so he could ride the track anyway! We couldn't let the dog into the park so here are some pictures of him riding outside the park... ha ha. (NOTE: He is wearing a CO jersey my dad got him for Christmas! Rock on!)

After a good afternoon at the bike park, Sam and I found a great caravan park in nearby Mt. Barker. Again, we had all the amenities plus electricity!!! We had a laid back evening and enjoyed chatting with other people in the park including a woman who gave us a mango and a family of Canadians who have traveled around the world (Including a trip from Florida to Australia in a yacht....Sam is inspired!)

Day 4.... We woke up early and ran all of our errands around Mt. Barker then headed to the Adelaide temple. We were excited to do some temple work but darn the luck...the temple is closed on Tuesdays! Oh well...we got some great pictures anyway! Here they are...

Finally, we jumped back in the car and headed to Port Augusta. We decided to splurge and are staying in a great little motel called Motel Poinsettia... an older motel but the owners are great and you can't beat the service! They even have little fridges with cold glasses and fresh cold water jugs in each room! How awesome is that? We even went out to dinner and had some real food (Indian food...YUMM)!! It's been a great day!

There were a lot of wind farms on our way to Port Augusta! Sam was very excited about this! Yea for clean energy!

Snoopy had to sleep in the car in Port Augusta because there were no motels that allowed dogs...he was excited....can't you tell?

Here's a map of where we are now.

Well it's late and we have a crazy long trip tomorrow. Keep posted! More to come!!!
