A nice leisurely start to the morning with a coffee and a bowl of cereal that I had brought from Tall Trees Motel. I came up with my plan of attack for today. This involved ignoring all the advice that I was given yesterday. As temperatures were as low as 20 degrees up here I set off with flip flops on to my first winery of the day. Hahndorf Hill Winery. Located only half a mile from the township this was the easiest of the wineries to get too. Walking in there w...

Hungover ergh! This summed up this Sunday morning. Not getting out of bed until 11:00 was a clear sign of the night before effects. To try and turn the tide, I made scrambled eggs on toast. We then watched a couple more episodes of Black Lightning. However we weren't destined to have a clear head today. Even the cat seemed to know this & was hanging around for attention. Just before two a taxi was summoned to take us to Laura's parents to recover her car. We...

We headed over to Laura's parents place where the bus was collecting us for our wine adventure. Then sun was out but it wasn't as hot as yesterday which was quite nice. Our destination for today was the McLaren Vale. There were seven of us in attendance including Bayly & Ash who had been out with us on Thursday. Our bus driver Micheal was a happy chappy, & took us to our first destination of D'Arenburg. New to this vineyard was their feature tasting build...

Overnight I had a message from Scotty who was at his local bar creating cocktails. I chatted to him & Becky between 08:00 & 09:00 then got up for a coffee. Laura being the good host had come up with a breakfast suggestion that her brother had recommended. It did not disappoint. Luigi's doesn't have a set menu & the waitress came and sat down at the table to discuss the options. We opted for the sharing platter with extra veg for the veggie. More baco...

I was probably too relaxed in the morning getting up at 07:00 to make bacon and pack. I didn't leave the hotel until 08:30 and soon found myself stuck in traffic trying to access the M1. I had planned on dropping the car off at 09:00 but didn't get there until 10:00. That included taking a couple of toll roads as well. Frustratingly I realised that had I turned right when collecting the car I could have got on the motorway much easier than going through Brisbane ...
