Vineyard and market place


Recently I went to this very cool vineyard and would like to share the beautiful photos with you. Opps busted, since when there is a vineyard in Singapore!


Well, I got to know a new friend and she is currently staying in Australia. Sharon was very generous to share her weekend road trips with me and showed me the beautiful photos she took during her adventure. I have gotten her permission to post her photographs on my blog because I really loved them!


I have never been to Australia, nor any vineyard so far, really envy friends that get a chance to live overseas either for work or studies. In Singapore all we can look forward to during the weekends are either shopping, catch movies, go clubbing, la kopi, blar blar... If not go for tanning (or blocking for my case) in Sentosa. Usual and predictable..


But if you live in a big country like Australia, you can do different stuff like rent a car and drive to another state, county or some rural area, visit the farms, feed the farm animals, ride on a pony, skin a sheep... hahaha


Ok lets look at Sharon's master piece, pictures were very well taken.


Grapes! Grapes! I never see grapes like this before! (Me = city tortoise... "city ku")






Their cup cakes were so colorful, at first glance I thought they were some decorations for the table, too beautiful to be eaten!



Hey this is a unique animal call Alpacas, it resembles a sheep in appearance but is larger and has a long erect neck. They were sometimes mistaken as a camel or llamas. They were breed for their fibre (wool) to make into blankets, sweater, hats etc.. Sometimes they were bred exclusively for their meat as well, sad... looked so cute!




A typical working farm dog.




Bet these clocks were hand made! Artistic!

Fruit jams.

Road trips are fun, my only closest experience was in Malaysia. Most of the time Jeff was the one behind the wheels, I was the navigator. Furthest distance was driving up all the way from Singapore to Penang. Tiring but fun, best part about road trips was able to stop anywhere we liked and enjoy scenery along the way.

I am glad to know Sharon through my blog, thank you once again for allowing me to post your photographs!
