Vacation is still running for some of us, although along more conventional terms. We soloed today in our little rental car, running up to the wine country in the Hunter Valley. Nothing exciting to report on the way; Judy did a great job shouting out instructions to turn and then covering her eyes. We only made five of the wine cellars before we had to call it a day, leaving 95 more on the shelf so to speak. We brought bottles of wine back for our Terrigal genial hosts, and picked up some brekki items (sooo hard to cross a busy street to a shopping center on the other side of the road).

Sure miss all the fine singing of you sydneysiders, and the company. But we're doing our best to drown our sorrows...

Tomorrow, it's another BBQ and then it's riding the rail back to Sydney.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
