It all worked out, having to get the bigger car because of the two Lisas and their baggage. There was four of us driving to the wineries, comfortably! Plush! “Most of the time, things work out<\/em>“. The backpacker’s credo. I need to remember that!
\nApparently, according to Bessy, Australia has a list of “giant things”. I’ve seen one of these in personam<\/i>, the giant fork that I took a picture earlier.
\nShe knew about the fork. Where it was and everything. Interesting…
\nAnyhoo, to add to the collection of giant things, I present to you, gentle (if not slightly bored) reader, the giant wine bottle.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nThis giant wine bottle is part of a complex that has a winery, food and book shops, picnic areas and a restaurant. We were here to grab lunch. Wine tasting started at 1000 and we’ve already visited three wineries. Food is in order. We all is hungry. Must eat or kanna taste anymore!

\nThis is a schnitzel burger. Bessy is getting ready to attack it. <\/em>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nGee, this is really big<\/em>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nBessy: I tink dis is biffer den by mace (I think this is bigger than my face)<\/em>
\nBurger: ooouch! My ass! (ooouch! My ass!)<\/em>
\nstrangely enough, these burgers (I had one too) don’t count as “giant things”.
\nWe continued on the wine trek, visiting more cheese shops and wineries, purchasing some wine and cheese for dinner and some liquid omiage for some people back home.
\n\"\"<\/a>

\nA fun winery. <\/em>
\nWhen we all got back, there was a bottle of yardstick, cheese, good company and 70 or so bugs. Now that’s a nice evening…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
