Hunter's Valley was excellent!
well.. except for the bus rides. I think its very shiti to travel for 1 hour plus just to visit 1 place.
Shahid, JingJing, Jerrand and I meet up with Ian and JJ's friend at Macs for breakfast. First breakfast in a few weeks time...
Spent lots of time in the bus teasing Ian about him and Maurice. haha.
When the tour agent came to collect xtra expenses, i was like SHIT.. need extra $$$?! ji lak! cheat my money, cheat my feelings... do you accept atm card? i only have 20cents left in my wallet..
in the end, have to borrow $ from Ian... made me fall into a serious dept of 90+
1st Stop - Australia Reptile Park.
well.. we decided not to pay for the entrance because there nothing much to see on turtles and alligators.. and i hate despise scaly creatures.. eew. We played around in front of the entrance and took lots of pictures.
2nd Stop - Port Stephen, Nelson's Bay
Took a ferry out to the sea to search for dolphins. The darn dolphins only appeared when we were about to turn back to coast. We concluded that Jerrand's iku..iku.. will only attract Japanese dolphins. hahaha. if there are any! japanese hentai dolphins
3rd Stop - Sand dunes at Anne Bay
This place is damn cool. The wind blew sand from the beaches to the land and as many years passed, the sand accumulates and became like a desert. wow.. seriously. desert by the beach. windy and not hot. The whole area looks like a war barren land, the emptiness that makes it cool. Look down the horison and you cant see anything, except sand. only sand, more sand, and moutains of sand. imagine you get lost and couldnt find your way back. damn freaky... the sand is very soft. jump on it and it will suck you down to the center of the Earth. hah! We took a Jeep to a very moutainy area and sandboared down the sand hill. Its very exciting because you wont get hurt if you falled, unless you try surfing down while standing up, lost balance, flip, toss, spin 360 degress and tumble down the hill like Shahid, which got sand all into his eyes. Well temporary blinded. poor thing. We teased him that God decided to punish him for watching too much Bollywood porno movies. hahaha. :p The downside of the sandboarding is that you have to climb all the way up the hills in order to slide down again. Imagine yourself climbing up hill on sand that is soft enough that make you sink... seriously.. i climbed back 5 times and i am like a dead pig. After 1 hour plus, the jeep took us back to the beach. The beach was like smooth. really smooth. unlike Bondi or Manly where the sand is soft and fluffy. The sand there was like wet and hard, and formed like hard soil groud, but actually when you touch it, it is wet of sea water. The tour guide told us that there are pipis in the sand and we found some too. Take them away and you'll be fine 22k. thats the law. cruel.. I managed to smuggle a empty shell back. haha.
4th and last stop - Winery
Get to taste wine there and see how they make wine. Well i forgot. haha. The man incharge told us the process. couldnt remember all.. hahaha. just some storing in barrels, filtering.. and stuff like that. Tasted the 7 kinds of wine available there. I find the sweet Red and sweet White nices, becos they are not bitter. While we were having our 4th glass and wanted to get the 5th, the man at the counter refused to pour for Ian and told him :" are you 18? you look like 15!" hahaa. poor ian didnt get to continue drinking more.. haha. pity him. but shouldnt he be happy to look young? The grapes outside arent wripe yet. only baby miniature green grapes.
Spent the long journey back discussing about apartments and moving out with Jerrand.
What a day.
What a lot of $ spent.
haiil...
at least better than playing DOTA the whole day, then facing the com the whole nigh again.
go out to and experience nature.
THANK YOU jing jing for organising the tour. yeah~ =)
