Wine and back to the beach

30-1-2010 (Saturday)

A lot of rain during the night again. If it rains it rains hard. But when it was time to wake up it had stopped raining and what we say in Dutch: after the rain, the sun will shine again .
Sharon and the kids went for a good swim after breakfast (many Germans in love in the pool, no kids around) Ruben arranged the van for the trip.

We went to a few vineyards for tasting, the first was Tallavera Grove, after that we went to Briar Ridge. At Briar Ridge we also had a nice lunch (Dip plate and a cheese platter) . We tasted wine and the kids apple juice. We bought one nice bottle of rose.
We passed by one of the pioneers of Hunter Valley, The Drayton’s (since 1858).

Then we set for Port Stephens to the One Mile Beach resort. This was a tip we got from Pardo.
The site is very nice, with a big pool, and again on the beach. We did some groceries in Anna Bay and had a swim in the pool, the pool has a water slide.

We bbqed and Ruben and Sharon watched an Australian movie, ‘Beautiful Kate’ starring the guy that plays Tom Cruise his friend in Cocktail.
