What a weekend!

Well, our last weekend of our Australian adventure has certainly ended in style. Friday night, Matt and I drove up with Jade, Travis and Sapphire to meet Candy and Mark in Hunter Valley - wine vinyard country. We arrived late, so the weekend really began on Saturday. We had a nice relaxed morning in the story book gardens, then spent the day touring various vineyards wine testing. I have decided im a big fan of Moscato wines. One in particular that Matt and I would recommend is Tempus Two Moscato; selected as one the top 100 Australian wines by the famous wine critique Matthew Jukes. Its very easy to drink, and reasonably priced. The tempus two tasting area is also designed like a high class club (not like you get in Cleethorpes!) so the whole experience was fantastic! We of course had to buy a bottle. And a spare of course!
We got home early evening, and watched an Australian movie called 'The Castle' which is hilarious! I would tell everyone to watch it, if only for two lines by a gentleman called Farouk! This was enjoyed with a chocolate fondue....scrum! Croissants, strawberries and marshmallows combined with belgian chocolate...im drooling again already!!
We played two of our three boardgames - imagineiff , because you get some really funny answers....Them and Us...coz its just fun to try (and succeed) and beat the boys! The third option was game of knowledge, which since we struggled with 10-15yr old questions whilst sober, we realised we had no chance drunk!
This morning, we started the day with a nice hearty bbq brekky! Including good old tottie scones, hand made by moi :) We stopped at Morrisette on the way home to check out the markets, and after a small detour to see the Kings old house, we headed down to the Entrance, totally worth it just to see the pelicans feeding time! A few volunteers feed the hand reared and injured pelicans every day. The tradition began in the 1970's when one one the employees of the local fish shop started feeding them during his lunch break. However, if he was ever late, the pelicans would come across the road and wait outside the shop until he was free. Nowadays however, theyre a bit cheekier, and will wander all the way into the kitchens. One particular pelican has aquired a taste for KFC!
Anyhoo, i think matt and i are having a quiet last couple of days, but of course all pics will be going on facebook very soon!!!
