Still having trouble with the iPad and blogging, the two systems are at war and I struggle.
The days are flying and we always seem to have something on. Lunch in the parks by the river, vineyard to visit, touristy towns to wander and shops and galleries to peruse. We aren't sick of it yet and as long as we are happy we will doodle on. We are making an effort to walk each day otherwise we will have to buy bigger clothes. So far so good.
It sounds like we are just drinking our way around the Barossa - correct but we only go to one or two or maybe three vineyards a day and there are hundreds. It is not the focus of the whole day by any means and often it is the drive In between that is the highlight.
But on saying that we have been to a few smaller vineyards where the caller an or ladies chat to you and the product is great - it is fun to find a great wine that you've never heard of and support the smaller bloke. So in our travels we went to Charles Melton for Shiraz, Gibsons for Shiraz and Pinot Grigio and Dave they did not have dirty old men, and St Hallets - bigger but Ross got to taste their Old Block Red - and so he was happy.
Then home for sleeps only to be disturbed by 4 helicopters landing in the park to pick up some celebrities that were visiting. They wouldn't let us on or tell us who they were there to pick up. Very hush hush - the talk of the van park.
Another walk before evening through the town, along the river and through a vineyard.
Ps woke to a penguin convention today - so took a photo for Dick n Nancy - a whole rookery of friends with Penguins. Looks quite funny.
