Must've been good tastings - you're all fuzzy

Give it 30 minutes and people will be asleep on the bus.

Our chariot is nice enough…

Give it 30 minutes and people will be asleep on the bus.

…but the seats aren’t lie-flat!

We’ve stopped at Lyndoch for an ice cream and some people had to wake up to get off the bus.

Did it come with Johnny?

 

[JessicaTam]

Did it come with Johnny?

No, he couldn’t make it. Too busy planning another final tour.

 

[Buzzard]

Give it 30 minutes and people will be asleep on the bus.

Not if they want to win more stuff.

Some are still with us, some have faded away.

SamH found the ideal decanter at Saltram ( that's a 3 l bottle next to it)

Looks like you had a great day. It was a glorious day here in Adelaide and I've safely made it home (took ages). Safe travels everyone

Edit and thanks to @Fifa for letting me have her room at the Hilton. A wonderful Staycation (I'm now going to spend more time going for higher status in hotel chains)

Wow, wonderful adventures. Thanks for sharing them with us.
Did anyone get photos of the Haighs chocolates? I love their milk chocolate frogs. Pity you missed the factory tour. I'll put that on the list for when I get to Adelaide.

Those that are leaving ADL today have now made it to the 2 lounges!

That was the Sunday group. There are several of us who attended Friday and/or Saturday who weren't able to attend today.

Well this weekend was really well organized. Thanks support,admin and moderators and helpers.
Today we had 21 on the bus out to the Barossa and we didn’t leave anyone behind as Buzzard did the counts before we moved from place to place. I had always wanted to do a tour with Buzz and this weekend the stars aligned. Well done Buzz!

It was a pleasure. I'm just grateful to help others out because of what I've learnt on this forum (and now met lots of nice people) - and your trip report index is fantastic
