The Hunter Valley

We met Daniel and Marina at the Information Centre. They had already found a campsite and we booked a wine tour for the following day. As the sun was out and the day was young we were off to check out some wineries on our own. By 4:00 pm we had explored wine, olives and chocolate and had enjoyed Tapas for a late afternoon lunch. We had a wonderful time comparing travel notes and experiences.
The next day put us on a bus. Oh yes, another bus! We toured around the valley, through vineyards, big and small. More chocolate and olives and best of all "The Smelly Cheese" store. With the help of our Swiss friends, we explored many new options including the goat and sheep varieties. With all our new delicacies, we went home and had a wonderful meal.
We were having a good time and considered staying another day, but apparently somebody was singing in a vineyard. Thus it was a "special event" weekend and the price of everything doubled. We were on the road again. This time our destination was the Blue Mountains.
