Clare Valley is well known for its Riesling wines, but, of course, it was a big coincidence that we ended up here... :-D Since we were here, we had to take advantage of the situation and go for a tour around the wineries. We followed the famous Riesling Trail for a few kilometers and after that we visited a few wineries, tasted some wines and decided to came back later to shop for a few bottles at the Kilikanoon winery, it was the New Years Eve after all. :-) Riesling trail - Vineyards

It was certainly one of the most "interesting" new year's eves we have experienced so far. The day we arrived we were told there would be a BBQ and New Year's celebration at the caravan park, but only about 10 people attended and half of them were old enough to be our grandparents. After a few drinks we all became friends for life and had a nice time anyway. :-) We still got nicely pissed, but the next morning we woke up at around 9 and were more or less fresh for our next adventures.

O Vale de Clare é famoso pelos vinhos Riesling ai produzidos, mas, é claro, a nossa visita aqui foi puro acaso... :-D Já que aqui estavamos, tivemos que aproveitar e fomos visitar vários produtores de vinho. Riesling trail - Vineyards

Seguimos parte do famoso caminho do Riesling (Riesling Trail), a pé, com várias paragens para provar vinhos, mais tarde voltamos com a carrinha para comprarmos algumas garrafas das caves Kilikanoon, era dia 31 de Dezembro e tinhamos que nos preparar para a passagem de ano. :-) Foi sem dúvida uma das passagens de ano mais "interessantes" que já fizémos. No dia que chegámos foi-nos dito que no parque de caravanas iria haver festa de fim de ano com barbeque, mas apenas apareceram umas 10 pessoa, metade das quais com idade para serem nossos avós. De qualquer forma fizémos novos amigos, e, depois de algumas bebidas, divertimo-nos na mesma. :-) Ainda conseguimos acabar a noite um pouco tocados, mas mais cedo que o habitual para estas ocasiões pelo que no dia seguinte acordámos às 9 da manhã, e frescos para continuar a viagem.

Clare Valley se proslavilo hlavne vinicemi a produkci vyborneho Rieslingu, ale my jsme se tu octli cirou nahodou! :-D No ale kdyz uz jsme tu byli, hned jsme toho zneuzili a vyrazili po vinarstvich na ochutnavky. Nejdriv jsme prosli (stale jeste rovne) par kilometru slavne trasy Riesling Trail a potom navstivili nekolik vinic a ochutnali vsechno mozne. Domu jsme to meli jeste docela daleko a jak jsme si to tak snerovali po silnici, rozhodli jsme se pozdeji se vratit do vinarstvi Kilikanoon a trochu se zasobit na vecer, konec koncu byl Silvestr. :-) Our New Year's Eve Mega Blast! :-D
Our New Year's Eve Mega Blast! :-D
Jednoznacne to byla jedna z nejzajimavejsich silvestrovskych oslav v nasem zivote. Kdyz jsme se zapisovali do parku, tak nam recepcni rekl, ze vecer na Silvestra bude nejake to grilovani a kempova parba, no predstavovali jsme si ledacos, ale realita predcila veskera nase ocekavani. Na "party" se ukazalo asi jenom 10 lidi a pulka z nich byla ve veku nasich prarodicu. Radsi jsme si rychle otevreli lahvinku a poradne si lokli, abysme to prezili. Po par drincich byli vsichni kamosi a vlastne jsme si to docela uzili. :-) Trochu jsme se vsichni namazali, ovsem my rano vstali uz v 9! a byli vicemene cerstvi a pripraveni na dalsi dobrodruzstvi.
