After a pretty good post-marathon dinner last night and a night of sleep, we started our third day with a visit to the laundromat across the street from our hotel. We hadn’t washed clothes since our time in Janesville, Wisconsin. The laundromat was bright and clean, although no seats, and the cost was $4 Australian to wash and $6 Australian to dry (for 30 minutes).
After folding and storing the washed clothes, we decided to go out and about even though it was dreary out. First, we hit the Barossa Sculpture Park by an overlook. The fog/mist/dew didn’t allow for any view to speak of, but we got to check out a few sculptures, including a big head sculpture for Bob.

Next, Bob had found a cheese shop he was interested in, so we drove a short distance to the nearby town of Angaston. The cheese shop was nice to look around and Bob was going to do a cheese tasting but the place seemed to be staffed by only one employee who wasn’t able to get to all of the potential customers. Beth did a quick walk through town while Bob was in the shop.

Next, we drove a short distance to a chocolate shop, the Barossa Valley Chocolate Company, that also had a cafe and a cellar door.
Lastly, we returned to our hotel in Tanunda to explore the shopping district near our hotel. We started in a next door gallery and made a surprising discovery behind in the back of the building.
It was originally placed in the Adelaide Town Hall.
It was placed in Tanunda when it needed restoration.
It is now fully restored and tours are conducted on Wednesdays.

This afternoon we’ll be doing another wine tasting that we had scheduled online. This one will be at Seppeltsfield.
