The sic indicates as read, as being a true spelling, even if people may think it is wrong. <br />Many people walked to the island, for tram cost reasons or not. I though the tram cost was reasonable. Horses are expensive to keep. <br />Port Elliot was nice but a little marred by all the large trucks travelling along the main street. It was not the only place we experienced that.

I guess I could roll over onto all fours and get up. Our car seats are heated. R used the microwave once for some reason I can't recall. I get that about those two places. But they are really good for tourists. We did Hahndorf and Mount Lofty last year and they were both great. It was a long time since we had eaten sauerkraut and it was delicious. The Stirling Hotel sounds interesting. I will check it out.
