Yarra Valley

 Cockatoos We checked out of the hotel in the morning and by the afternoon we were in our hotel in Lilydale. Before the wineries closed we headed out to the Yarra Valley to visit a few and grab a bite to eat.

After eating at a café we stopped at two wineries where Em did all the tasting. I decided against even having a sip of alcohol given that I'm still getting used to driving on the left side of the road. Em had tried about 10 different wines by the time we got back to the hotel she had no interest in opening up the bottle we had just bought.

Instead I read on the balcony, while Em stalked the 50 cockatoos and other birds that were flying around the hotel. We finished the night watching Roger Federer beat Tommy Haas in the Australian Open during which we did open up that bottle of Shiraz. It was excellent.
