New Year Resolution!
After doing virtually no travel blogging in 2010/11, but a whole lot of travelling, my New Year Resolution is to catch up on the blogs - starting with the most recent trip to South America over Christmas / New Year 2011!

The 1993 Grange cost about $10 a sip... it was a medium-bodied very easy-to-drink tipple, and we cherished every drop.... I guess on today's market you'd pay up to $1,000 a bottle.... it's hard to get the grey cells around that, isn't it?
