Back to Sydney

Wednesday 1st April 2009

Well its back to Sydney to do a little wine tasting in the Hunter Valley. Jane got me this voucher for my 30th which seems to have a little bit of everything, cheese tasting, a wine tasting tour of 4-5 wineries, lunch and finish the day off at a small chocolate shop. Its not a bad change from living off Pasta & Goon ;-) Its an early start on the wine, we make it to the first winery at 11am. By the time you've paid a visit to 2 or 3 you are starting to feel the effects and as the day goes on every wine seems to taste the same as the other.
When I was in Melbourne I saw a fantastic offer for a Padi Open Water dive course for $290. The chances of getting anything close to this price else where in Aus is pretty slim so I decided to book it up. The course is in a place called Coffs Harbour about a 8hr drive from Sydney. Two days before I set off to Coffs Harbour I read in the paper is been declared a disaster zone due to flooding...not what I wanted to hear.
