Tuesday 7 October 2008

finally i uploaded all the photos

so here it is
the post on our road trip
it was a wednesday morning
me and belle woke up real early at about 7 something
headed to Budget to collect the car
and so...
our ride for the day was....

Toyota Yaris Sedan

this one below was our tour guide throughout the trip
a Garmin GPS satnav system
it really helped a lot
first up was 'The Toy Factory'
a place where wooden toys are sold
there's also the animals section

so, below would be the road to the entrance of the animals section
i've got this fear for big animals especially those with fur
but i thought i'll be alright
so i just followed right behind
but when belle and yih lun opened the gate and they entered
and i saw this huge ass kangaroo below
i took a few steps back
i stood there for a moment to give it a thought
thinking whether should i proceed or should i stay outside
in the end
as i got to look at more animals inside that area
i decided it would be best to not enter
lol

hahaha
me and zheng huan locked up in the cage
and the kangaroos are our visitors
poor thing





so while waiting for the rest of them to come out from that 'wildlife' area
i decided to climb up to the top of the rocking horse
it is said to be the biggest rocking horse in the world
well i'm not so sure bout that
but the horse is definitely huge


that's me, the tiny one at the mane of the horse
i guess it's real hard to see
finally a group photo before we leave the place
our second stop was the whispering wall
it's really amazing how the sound can travel along the walls
it's basically a dam
and the sound from one side of the dam can be heard clearly at the other end of the dam



intimate moments exposed
lol

speak from here and the person at the other end of the dam will get ur message
cool shit yo
oliver running as fast as he can after we told him we gonna leave without him
lol






so another group photo before leaving the place
the wind was bloody strong that day
the next stop that we planned was chateau yaldara at the barossa valley
on our way there we saw this field filled with flowers
and i must admit
adelaide has got some seriously breathtaking scenery

look at the photo below
shades of purple
just beautiful






and so we reached our destination
chateau yaldara for wine tasting

i dont have a lot of photos at the yaldara winery
as we just tasted a couple of wines
bought a bottle and left

we headed to jacob's creek right after to have our lunch
we were told to wait to get seated
so it was wine tasting once again


bought another two bottles of wine at jacob's creek
yeah i know
both the bottles are wrapped in black paper
i'll post some photos at the end of this post
zheng huan's salad
yih lun's grilled fish
my pizza
belle's chicken kiev
and this one below was the dish of the day
oliver's kangaroo meat
oliver offered me one bite
so i thought i should give it a try
my very first bite
i could taste the red wine
but as i continue to chew on
it was nightmare
i dont wanna elaborate on that
lol










right after jacob's creek, we headed to penfolds
yet another winery
but this time we did not tasted any wine
too sick with wines
lol






lavender
since Menglers Hill was in close proximity
we went up there to get a view of the entire Barossa Valley

so yeah...
it was pretty boring up there
so just shoot some photos with the car
lol
i know i look constipated
lol



right after that we decided to head back to the city
it was a tiring day after all

below is the three bottles of wine we got with another two wine glasses

yesterday we decided to open up the bottles and have a sip
sorry for being clad in a singlet
it was almost bedtime
lol

i guess i should stop now
i spent about an hour posting all the photos
so till then..
take care people

CHEERS!!
