Australia Trip May 2009

Hi,

After 2 weeks in Australia it is good to be home in our tropical Singapore! When I arrived in Adelaide, it was pouring down rain, the locals were happy, as it was a welcome break after months of draught, and for me? I brought at least 6 liters of sunscreen and my favourite shorts, didn't know it could be so cold and wet in May!

It turned out to be a wonderfull trip visiting the famous wine regions such as Barossa, Clare Valley, Adelaide Hills, McLaren Vale, Mildura, Heathcote and Yarra Valley. I received a very warm welcome at the wineries and even had the opportunity to witness the vintage upclose and even help along.

Please have a look at a few pictures below, that will give you hopefully an impression of my trip. If you want to know more about it, drop by at our upcoming Warehouse Winefair @ Extra Space on Saturday afternoon May 30th and I will tell you all about it!

Cheers Arjen
