2/23/15 Adelaide

We took advantage of a free morning and walked down the street to the mall area.  Unlike our malls.  these are individual shops and beautiful Victorian arcades in a car-free zone.  We did a little window shopping and picked up a few things for the grandkids.  The weather was in the 80's with a nice breeze.  We stopped for lunch and picked up some fresh fruit to supplement our breakfast tomorrow.  The breakfast buffets have been lovely, but there has not been an abundance of fresh fruit.  After lunch, we met up with most of the rest of the group (three of our single ladies went off on an all day bus tour into the wine region) and took a bus to the Haigh's chocolate factory.  The factory has been family owned for one hundred years and we got to see them working on cherry cordials, hand dipped truffles, and the Easter collection.  They don't have Easter bunnies here, but Easter billbies along with eggs, chickens, and ducks.  We were given samples both before and after the tour so all was good!  We met up later and walked to the Red Ochre restaurant for a lovely dinner.  Dave had kangaroo, but I stuck with chicken, not being as adventuresome.  We didn't get back to the hotel until 10 so it was off to bed.
