Next stop was Lovedale in the Hunter Valley for some wine-tasting. Got there too late for afternoon imbibing so we had to go for the dreaded early morning tastings where the wine mingles with toothpaste on your palate. We soldiered through it, hitting Hungerford Hill and Brokenwood. There's nothing like a 10am buzz. We got to see some wild kangies grazing nearby, but that may have been through wine goggles.
We stayed at Lovedale Cottages (not to be confused with the Cottages at Lovedale--heck if we'd known the difference we might have made the last afternoon tasting), in a very quaint faux Aussie outback style homestead.
The schedule demanded we move onward to the next stop--Leura and the Blue Mountains. We made it in time to see the glow of the sunset (sort of) on the Three Sisters. The temperature went down to well below 10 degrees Celcius.
We stayed at the Old Leura Dairy, revisiting the scene of Grandma Joan's notorious 70th bday party in 2006.
