Newcastle, Australia - Why aaaiiiiiilad and Hunters Valley

The hostel shut its tv room at midnight so it was the first day i couldnt watch any world cup footy

Apart from that, there wasn't much to do. I got a bus to a nearby woodland that had a cool animal park, and i saw my first wombats and koala's which was ace! I've got some good pictures so hopefully i'll be able to put them up soon. The animal park (not big enough to be a zoo) just contained Ozzy animals and some of the birds were really colourful and beautiful. It was a massive walk to get there and around the park so i was knackered by the time i got back, and i slept threw my alarm to watch me up for the Ozzy Brazil game at 5am which upset me a lot when i woke up the next morning!

The hostel we were at, charged you for quilts, so me being a tight ass traveller, i thought i can do with my tiny sleeping bag, which was about as thick is a piece of paper. As you can guess, after about 3 hours of trying not to die of hyper-thermia, and shaking un-controllable i moved into Angelcias bed as she was clever enough to buy a bed quilt!

Myself and Angelica booked a day trip to Hunters Valley which is the 6th biggest vineyard in the world, and it was quality! We were on a trip with 5 other people, and one bloke took us to 6 vineyards, a chocolate factory, cheese factory and olive plant. All places had free tasting. I had so many different wines i was becoming a real expert. It was crazy to taste the same grapes but picked at different times during the year, and stored differently as to how different they tasted. I must have tried at least 50 wines, but different years, etc. I loved the dinner wines and will definatley be buying some on my return to mighty england. The wines were definatley the best i have ever tasted and had me feel ashamed for drinking horrible goon (wine in carboard boxes) for the last 2.5 months. The cheese factory was also great and i am now a massive fan to posh cheeses!
