Four visit Kanmantoo

Well, while the cat is away (being our 20 year old son) the mice (or those who remain behind) go off and explore a part of South Australia that I knew was there but cannot ever (EVER) remember seeing. The tiny township of Kanmantoo that is. We left on Saturday after my wife worked a morning shift, packed and out the door right on time. After a slight detour due to mixed messages about drinks requirements and then a major detour after forgetting to pack the air fryer, we were on the road thinking Strath was our first navigation point and then on to our actual destination. How wrong were we (or how wrong was me anyway). Google took us through Monarto and then on some unknown extension of Old Princes Highway until suddenly our destination was on the left. My love of my life, my most beautiful wife found us the Apple cabin, a quirky extension of The Britanica, the second okdest pub in Kanmantoo. Four beds all squished togother (we certainly discovered who snores and who talks in their sleep... Me... At least I don't grind my teeth much any more), a shower/toilet, and breakfast bar/dining. The art was interesting and the apple in the fridge a quirky touch. It made me wonder what was in the cabin next door (Pear)... The girls and I tried riding the bikes before we got ourselves prepared for a wonderful carriage ride. It is History Month people and you get to learn the coolest stuff about places in History Month. The pub was full of dressed up people in period costume making for some interesting conversations. The owner of The Britanica was lovely and gracious, but the facilities were missing a few things that we had assumed would be there. The night in our cabin was full of loud laughter until our neighbours arrived (in the Pear) after which we simmered our murth to a quiet chuckle (most of the time). Games and funny moments carried us through the evening along sude Ben Stiller in Night at the Museum 2 (and old one but a good one).

Sunday started late thanks to again my love and her great skills of negotiation. We asked the girls if they wanted to go to the cinema or to an old german town. The cinema lost (and the lolly shops won). We have filled today with new discoveries and some sweet treats. All in all a most intersting and wonderful couple of days.
