A Good Wine Shop Might Be The Answer

Thoughts on Visiting Australia

The most significant thing has been, with few exceptions, that the people were exceptionally friendly.  They went out of their way to be helpful and kind.

The second most notable memory of the trip was that everything was very expensive.  There were no values to be found at any level of the social structure.

The wines were occasionally excellent but were, overall, not exceptional.

The culinary experiences were sometimes excellent but were mostly unremarkable.

The countryside was occasionally picturesque, but in general, was the same as many places around the world.

The bottom line for me was that, while I enjoyed the trip, it is not a trip that I would repeat.
