Trip to Cessnock - Vineyard

Trip to Cessnock on Friday was fun. I mean we did get lost a few times and did a few U-turns, but nevertheless it was fun. We went in a group, 7 girls and 2 guys including me. Can you believe it that more than half of the biomed class are girls. Sheesh!! During the trip, the most captivating thing i found on this trip was cows :P lol..Truthfully i was mesmerized by the cows. There was a group of cows, sitting or grazing together in a circle as if they were having some meeting. lol..Too bad i took out my camera too late. Anyway i bought a green chilli jam - purrrfectly tasty, 3 Reese's chocolate - yummy, 2 bottles of wine - night harvest and botrytis- superb and a Turkish Delight - sadly not to my liking. So let the picture and figure legend do the talking, shall we?

The Car; Ford MKII, nice car :)

First stop, Garden Village. A small serene village with chocolate shops, cellar, sweet shop, ice cream shop, general store, etc.

The walkway. A nice place for wedding functions :)

The shop behind me sells Christmas stuffs throughout the year.

The christmas shop!

Christmas shop again. Bet the shop never felt any hotter than this, with 2 hot girls in front, hehe :P

Oh my, that is a BIG wine bottle, I bet it can provide drinks for the whole village if it is not made of plastic n stones :P

Perfect combination, Raw meat (me) and red wine :P

Shuu!! i took the picture without them knowing :P

Apparently there is a Pastor Wo and 2 angels by his side.

Hmm, the altar? Is that what it is called..A peaceful chapel with the village kind of look.

The village square :) If it is attached with some fake horses, i am sure it would pass the test as a merry go round.

Somewhere in the village :P Forgot where but i think it is near the village square.

The sweet shop, cant remember the name, Its something like UK lollies, lol

The garden, initially the plan was to visit this place but the entrance fee is AUD 20, so in the end decided not to enter. Its a tad too expensive, dont you think so?

The place where we bought our wines. This is located near the Garden Village. The lady who served us wine was very friendly unlike the woman who served us in Garden Village. (as it is a vineyard area, there were like dozens of vineyards around) I think 6 of us bought 13 bottles of wines and therefore we were entitled to 10% discount and also another bottle of dessert wine worth AUD 30 free :)

Some naughty people trying to block me from taking pic but nevertheless.....

I won, LOL

After that we went over to the cheese shop...Hmm, wait a minute, i think we went over to the cheese shop first then only to the cellar..Keke..Anyway in the cheese shop, we tried lots of cheese :P from normal to mouldy ones like White cheese and Blue cheese. White cheese is like totally covered with white molds and blue cheese has blue molds in it. DIdnt try the white cheese but did try the blue cheese..IT was YUMMY!!!!!!!! kekeke..never thought i would like molds, lol... AFter that we came back to newcastle and at night time we went over to the beach for a little wind (it was kinda cold). Before we hit the sack, we went over to Wai yi's room for a few games of poker and also to savour the free bottle of wine :)

All in all, i found out that i have weird likings to weird things like being mesmerized by congregation of cows, bought a dessert wine with botrytis (which is either a mold or a fungus) and also found out that i love blue mouldy cheese :P
