Journal Entry:
Woke up at Mitchell's after less than three hours sleep. Took a taxi to the airport, picked up Susie then headed back to the hotel to sleep for an hour. Went and had coffee then a long lunch - I'm really not feeling to hot at this point.

By the time we actually left the city it was after one. So much for spending the whole day wine tasting. As we drove into the Barossa Valley the second problem with the wine tasting plan became apparent - it's Good Friday. The cellars are all closed - same reason the bars closed early last night. So tasting tomorrow morning.

Had some problems finding accomadation - everyone is here for the long weekend (Easter + Anzac day). Even the campground had a line! After several tries found a hotel and checked in. I tried to work on my journal, but pretty much went straight to sleep. After a wonderful two hour nap I felt much better and we went out to dinner.
