And outside of Sydney

Orange and wine

This long weekend we went to Orange to visit friends and try some wine. Orange is about 3,5 hours drive from Sydney....so after 5 hours we finally go there...Easter traffic! A lovely little B&B called Cothele. One of those old houses, over a 100 years (yep, they do think that is remarkable old).

The first evening we went for dinner at our friends Vineyard called Indigo Ridge. They have the best wines and we got a fantastic dinner to go with the wine.

The next day we visited a few other vineyards and finished off the day with dinner at one of the 1 hat restaurants in Orange. Fantastic food, I had the souffle followed by the duck. With this I had a sauvignon blanc and a cabernet merlot. I also discovered that many in this town are large...a lot of large families. Hm, maybe wine does make you put on weight like my mum has told me over the years.

On the way back to Sydney we stopped in Katoomba and had some lunch and had a look at the blue montains. Beautiful nature, and too many tourists. Back in the car to drive back to Sydney and of course got stuck in traffic...

I feel old to say it, but it is nice to be back home again.
