A Little Ray of Sunshine

Its been a crazy busy last week.. We had flat out rain for ages which made it really hard to get out and do anything, I went and wandered around the parade for a bit last week but got soaked so Tristo, Semi, Hickin and myself decided to drive up to the Barossa to Tanunda to Hickin's place to meet his parents and see where he lives. Up there they also have a vineyard with a pretty big dam which is full of water at the moment so we had a bit of a sus (in the dark, rain and mud with torches) to see if it was do-able to put a rail in there and winch it. It all looks good to were gonna try and get that happening in the next couple of weeks.

The next day we finally got some sunshine and everything dried up pretty quickly so Trist and I packed everything into the car and just started driving, we went and checked out this outdoor adventure store called Anaconda which has a huge rockclimbing wall in the centre and you get like 4 climbs for $3! We had a play on that and it didn't take long till our arms and legs were shaking and we had to have a break. We headed down to Glenelg (the beach) and took our longboards and skated along the Esplanade right next to the beach down to Brighton (the next pier) and visited some friends down there.. Somehow we managed to get a lift back, which was awesome since it was all uphill, and had some lunch up there. We skated up along the pat which is a bit of a river outlet to the ocean into West Beach skate park to see if it was worth driving around for a skate but it was full of feral little kids on holidays, so we bailed on that idea. There was heaps of little random detours that kept us busy all arvo and we finally made it back into town and headed down to the Havey (a pub) where they have 2 Pints and 2 Parmy's for $20 which was awesome, except I parked down a side street near some houses for an hour and got a ticket because apparently I needed some permit.. So my cheap dinner turned out to be not so cheap after all. Anyways heres some pics of what went down:
