Hunter valley
After a nice train ride north we arrived in the Hunter Valley. One of the biggest wine regions of Australia. We rented some bikes and rode them to the first winery. Because we were still a bit early we had to wait 5 minutes in front of it, until it opened at exactly 10 AM. The people serving knew that these cheap tourists, who were making an important face while sipping glas after glas wouldn't buy anything, but they didn't really care. On the contrary, they are all very chilled out, like almost all Australians are. Only people from the west coast of the US are easier going. On the way we also tasted some cheese and ate at a gourmet supermarket. Just afterwords we also saw some kangaroos standing between the grapes. The alcohol and the hills took their toll and we arrived at the hostel sweating. Shower and then three buses too Port Stephens.
