Seeing as how we’ve been spending a little bit of time in Hahndorf these last few posts I thought I may as well tell you about this beautiful church that you will find further up the main street., the actual address being 10 Main Street Hahndorf.

Strangely enough although the early settlers of Hahndorf originally came to the region to escape religious persecution a rift developed between some of the Lutheran population. This caused some to split from the original St Michaels Church, the oldest Lutheran Church in Australia, must get a photo of that, to form another congregation and another church, that of St Pauls that you see in the photo below.

This article contain some interesting information on Hahndorf and can click on the following one for Mass Times and such.

Hahndorf South Australia Has A Lot To Offer

A couple of posts back I told you about a great meal we had at the The German Arms Hotel Hahndorf and I thought it only fitting that I told you a little about Hahndorf itself as it is a prime tourist spot. I know every time we have overseas visitors we always make it a point to take them there.

Hahndorf is a small town only 30 minutes from the city. I’m sure when people originally moved there it was for the beautiful surroundings and the peace and quite. I reckon that became a thing of the past once the tourists found out about it. Now it gets so busy that at times it can be a bit of a chore to find a car park. While that may be a bit of a pain for the local residents I’m sure the business owners are loving every minute of it. :drunk_tb:

Hahndorf is named after Danish Captain Dirk Meinhertz Hahn, who was captain of the Zebra. The town was settled by Lutheran migrants and you can see from the buildings and such that there is definitely a German influence. The German Arms Hotel that I mentioned in that previous post being a prime example.

There are many different types of stores up and down the street, some to tantalize the palate and other to tempt you with souvenirs. As you walk up or down the main street, depending on where you managed to park your car you should keep an eye on the side streets as some of them also lead to some interesting stores.

One shouldn’t forget the many craft outlets as well as some of the stores that offer collectables and historical souvenirs. I’ve always found it interesting to sit outside one of the many cafes sipping on my cappuccino as I watch the tourists strolling by.

I reckon it doesn’t matter what you have a hankering for you’re bound to find something that you will like in Hahndorf. If you have kids a good place to stop is Treats of Hahndorf that offers everything from boiled sweats to ice-cream.

If you like to sample cheeses and other dairy products you can’t go past Udder Delights.

And if you like leather goods and the like then I recommend having a look at the Leather Smith Bush Gallery.

These are only a sample of what Hahndorf has to offer and if your in the area I recommend you stop by and have a look around.

Finding Ways Of Saving Money Like Zenni Optical

Man, things are really getting tough out there. It seems that the price of living is always going up and this includes things like petrol, food, electricity, heck you name it, if it costs money more likely than not it’s on the upward trend. The world news certainly isn’t helping any, especially with all the hype about the world’s finances. What with Spain and other parts of Europe being in trouble not to mention the financial scare coming out of the States when set the stock markets around the world on a downward spiral!

The problem is that even though everything seems to be going up most of us are still earning the same today as we did before everything went crazy. That is why it is so important that we do what we can to save money when we can. That is why blokes like Clark Howard are so respected. Clark is nationally syndicated consumer advocate who advises consumers how to save money by spending less and avoiding getting ripped off.

Too many people just hop in an buy the first thing that happen across not even thinking that if only they did a bit of research they could save a lot of money. Take buying prescription eyeglasses as just one example. You can do what most people do and pay hundreds of dollars by going to your local outlet or you can save heaps of money by getting it online. Clark Howard himself gave Zenni Optical the thumbs as he knew how much money a person could save by utilizing their services.

OK, now that I’ve put a smile on your face by showing you how to save money why not finish off with nice photo. I took this while in Hahndorf. It’s obviously a wooden puppet, one could even say it was Pinocchio, and look at that he’s smiling. He’s probably just ordered his glasses from Zenni :drunk_tb:
