Divine Wine
The bus from Byron to Newcastle was a chilly, sleepless affair but never the less we arrived safely. After having only 20 minutes sleep here and there on the 10 hour journey we were ready for a nap. We had booked a hotel-come-pub for the night but unfortunately when we arrived the girl hoovering the carpets told us check-in wasn't until 2pm. Justine looked like she was going to cry. The hoover girl then went to fetch the manager who, thankfully for us, informed us that he ...

He seems nice enough but he seems to prefer the Italian boys to the ...
Finally working in Wine Country
... there are a group of Italians who constantly embarrass us with their cooking! There are also two Australian girls, a Swedish couple and some Koreans, making up a very weird but fun group. We’ve had mixtures of beautiful sunny days here up in the hills, matched by two epic thunderstorms that wouldn’t be out of place in the tropics. Sitting on our balcony watching bolt lightning above the hills was a ...
