Today the ship arrived at around 8 AM at the Outer Harbor of Port Adelaide near Adelaide, Australia. This was the third time that I have been to Adelaide, arriving two times by sea and one by bus. Adelaide is a city of wide, leafy streets and elegant architecture, offering the visitor a myriad of opportunities to relax, indulge, discover and enjoy. The city is surrounded by green parkland, and the metropolitan area is bound by the hills of the Mt. Lofty Ranges and the waters of the Gulf St. Vincent.
At 9 AM I left on a tour of Hahndorf & the Adelaide Hills. We left Port Adelaide for a drive past the city's sites. We headed out of town and arrived at 10:30 AM at Mt. Lofty for a panoramic view of Adelaide. At 11:15 we arrived at the German town of Hahndorf. Settled in 1839 by Prussian and East German immigrants. Hahndorf is Australia's oldest surviving German settlement. The German influence is still visible today in the architecture of the old buildings, many of which still serve as homes and shops. I left the area where the bus was parked and I saw a sign for St. Michael's Lutheran Church so I walked up to the church. This church has a Traditional Worship Service at 8:30 AM and a Contemporary service at 10:30 AM. When I got there the Contemporary Service was about to end and they were having communion so I took communion. After the service I talked to one of the members and also to the Pastor. After I left the church I walked around the town and headed back to the bus. At 1:15 we left Hahndorf to return to the ship. We arrived back at the ship at 2:30 PM.
After dinner the show was put on by the Tanunda Brass Band, a local and the oldest brass band in the Southern Hemisphere.
Tonight we spent the night in harbor.
