Mudgee - 15th January

by Tony  

Today was all about wine tasting, good for T&J, not so good for Kids.

We started off at Pieter Van Gent wines, which was great as the wine tasting was in the cask room. Unfortunately there was a huge rain storm came just as we left, so I had to get rather wet retrieving the car for the others! Of course 2 minutes later the rain stopped! Good wines here, then we visit Petersons Wines, which is related (same family), as Petersons House (old Peterson Champange House). Good wines, but no purchases here as all these wines are available now at Petersons in the Hunter. Then we visited Robert Stein Vineyard, heaps to try but nothing took our fancy.

Then off to luch at Di lusso Estate for some fresh italian pizza, including a desert pizza, and of course some more wine.

In the afternoon, we visited Robert Oatley's  vineyard, which brands such as Wild Oats and Tik Toc. Kids had fun with the kids stuff they provided but none of the wines took our fancy. Finally a visit to Lowe wines, which had fantastic wine, and a great tasting area, in their open wine shed.

So, in summary a very sucessful day for the 2nd last day of our trip, bit hard on the credit card but fun just the same.

We are all starting to get excited and sad, about getting home and ending the trip, but all good things must come to an end. We will have been travelling for over 6 months (188 days) and have travelled over 35,000 kms in that time. We have seen many different things and met many different people on our travels and have enjoyed all our travels immensely. We also enjoyed travelling with my parents in the NT, though that does seem so long ago. We have found so many places, we want to go back to, and some we never want to see again!

Tomorrow we pack up for the last time on this trip to travel back to Lochinvar, but I am sure it will not belong before we are going away again, but maybe for not so long next time ...
