Wine tasting in the Valley

Toni, Laryssia and I met up at 9:30 to get the train out to the Swan Valley with our bikes.

We had an utterly fantastic day cycling throughout he sunny vineyards stopping regularly for wine tasting. Leaving each cellar door a little tipsy with a short cycle through the vineyards to sober us up.

The Swan Valley is Australia's 'valley of taste' and as well as wine we tried fresh ice cream, honey, nought, nuts, chocolate and some beer. I really couldn't imagine a better day, with fantastic company. 

I had so many great wines and way too much Honey, leading Laryissa and myself to be wide eyed and literally buzzing as we left the shop.

After a day of tasting all the good things in life we cycled all the way back along the river bank back to Perth, spotting yet another beautiful sunset from the wooded banks of the Swan with the city silhouetted. 

We arrived back at around eight and I cycled back to the house. We all had a great chat that went on and on, setting the world to rights on every topic. It was a really interesting conversation with many points of view. It was really interesting discussing economics and psychology with people from so many countries. Between us we had England, Malaysia, Switzerland, Germany, Italy and France. The company was so good in fact that Dave, Danniella and myself set to bed after 5am!
