Thank God we had our incredible one and half week holiday in Adelaide! It was totally awesome! We watched Libby swimming in the national championship. Super proud of her! The last two days in Brossa Valley was indeed the best time I have ever had. It started with us misread the bus timetable. So we had to catch train + bus + taxi to get there which took us 2 hrs and it was 6am! By the time we got the hotel, we were just totally amazed by the beautiful view! We stayed at the Novotel Hotel and got a deluxe spa suite. I suggested to ride the bike to visit Maggie Beer's farm which turned out to be a nightmare. We got so lost and Nick got very sunburnt. But we had our laugh on our way. After 2.5 hrs very lost ride we realised that we would never get there. So we went back to the hotel and ordered a cab. Turns out that the Farm is so far away from the hotel, it would take us at least 4hrs to ride there! Bear in mind it was the second time I have ever rode a bike! I was disappointed that I didn't actually meet Maggie in the farm but we saw all her animals (pets?) and had a very nice lunch there. The second day was very nice too. We did some wine tours and met a very lovely couple from Melbourne.
We headed to Sydney for our engagement party (a very late one!) despite the fact we got engagement a almost year ago! Thanks to Nick's mom and dad, the party was awesome. I had one of the best nights in my life. Thanks to Penny and Peta, Dave to help out. And thanks for everyone who came to the party. It was so nice to catch up with everyone since we moved up to Brisbane. Can't wait for the wedding in November!
