noods' surprise bday trip to hunter valley part 2 photos - 2 October 2008, 18:55
after lunch we visited pepper tree wines
ooh pepper!
the boys are thirsty
and so am i…
mr baz, me and matty
me and boey wait for the boys to finish tasting the manly wines before we get to the dessert wines…
da gang, several bottles of wine heavier
onto the smelly cheese shop in pokolbin!
there was so much cheese! a whole refrigerated room where racks stood crammed full of cheese wedges, wheels and slices not to mention the glass cabinets filled with even more cheese and cheerful ladies handing out samples oooh so tempting
miggie with his churros
a gelato sandwich! well really more like gelato in a bun…
cross section
why we eat gelato on the coldest day in winter is beyond me…
after the cheese buying we told noods we were going to hit one more vineyard before everything closed and then head home. not suspecting anything noods agreed and we followed behind bazs car to…
araluen mistletoe cottages! because we had 6ppl we got the loft and still noods had no idea. not even when we walked up the stairs. not even when he saw there was no wine tasting. not even when he saw the bedrooms. heh it was onli until he saw the bag of clothes id packed that he realised we were staying overnight
the awesome beds were so soft!
da kitchen that came decked out with oven, microwave, fridge plus plates and utensils and some brekkie stuff
lounge area with the hypnotic fireplace
mig and matty hard at work building the fire
baz takes a quick nap
while mig and noods start up the barbie
mmm meats
heh look at that monster of a ribeye!
boey displaying her pear…
group photo!
ah i love my tripod it means noone gets left out of photos!
baz washes up thanks baz!
the cheeses we bought from smelly cheese shop: truffle brie (tasted so salty! like vegemite hmpf), windsor red, smelly southern blue creamy mild, smelly’s triple cream brie, smelly’s camembert
i bought this cheese because it was pink…
it tasted like normal tasty cheese but with a teensy tiny hint of wine
stay tuned for part 3!
