The Old Wolf Express - Down Under 6

Nice day. Went up to a beautiful vineyard area for a look-round the shops, and had lunch in a little cafe - a nice beef burgundy pie and a fruit tart. Visited the "Smelly Cheese Shop" where I picked up some nice Australian honeys and got to sample some very nice cheeses. Also stopped in at a chocolatier where we had some interesting chili chocolates, very tasty with a slight chili kick to them.

Spent the bulk of the afternoon at SteamWolf's folks' house chattering and having afternoon tea, a lovely blueberry bread with fresh home-made butter. Later we went down to Lake Macquarie and walked around, watched dolphins and had ice cream. Today was overcast and significantly cooler, which was most welcome.

Came home and tucked into some more cheese and fresh lychee nuts for a light supper - a relaxing, pleasant day all round.

Need to call the Foxaroo and see what his plans are, and coordinate what will happen tomorrow and Tuesday. I'm starting to feel really torn right about now - I miss my own place, but I'm dreadfully sorry this amazing 3-week journey is coming to an end. I just want more...
