BAROSSA TAKE THREE!!!

Now this one was a longer visit and a delightful one!! Although making me a bit homesick.
On the Saturday felt slightly seedy after the media pub crawl but I think it could have been the pancakes. Ha ha.
Went for some wine tasting (back on it) at JACOBS CREEK!! I was very excited also coz I know mum and dad like it. I go a picture of the sign and some of them were so yummy, although the lads from the Barossa tell me they are the worst wines because they’re too commercial and they don’t care about the taste so what do I know?! Lol.
Then went to visit the lovely Huon at his winery for more tastings then onto the CHEESE FACTORY! I was in heaven, you get to try everything and then we spent $30 on a cheese board!! I thought I may turn into cheese but it was so worth the tummy ache!!
Watched the sunset over the Barossa from trial hill which was beautiful. Got some good pictures so will try and upload them soon.
Back to Alex’s parents for yet more food (this is a big theme of the weekend!!) and a big family dinner – yum! – it was so good. Who ever thought of putting prawns in a pasta bake is a god!!
Then I had a VERY boy evening, there are somethings girls should not be a part of. And that’s not at all dissing women’s rights; there are just some things you don’t need to know about the male specie!!

Sunday was lovely, it was Alex’s parents 60th birthday so a massive family day. Glad more mates came!! Thanks hoon!! Made me a bit homesick due to all the speeches, etc. But such good food!!! It says something when ur mum is a home economics teacher, the food was amazing!!! I ate far too much though, and possibly a fair amount of red wine. Totally worth the overeating pains later!! Ha ha
