Helen<\/a> organised for us to head off to the Hunter Valley for a wine tasting trip<\/a> with a bit of sight seeing on the side.<\/p>\n

We meet early in the morning. We meet to head of to the hunter valley. Unexpectedly we get a very nice bus, easily the nicest bus I have ever used.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Hunter<\/a><\/p>\n

On the way there is a little drama when the bus is hit by a truck as we are stopped at the lights on Mona Vale Road, heading north, at Epping Road. We continue on to the Warnervale Service Stop to have a rest break.<\/div>\n

Leaving the freeway we head along the New England Highway to Maitland.<\/div>\n

We now stop at maitland jail. I find the whole deal too gruesome and want to leave. I think that the behaviour of the authorities is disgraceful and the inmates worse.<\/div>\n

We stopped for the night in Newcastle as this provided cheaper accommodation than the Hunter Valley. We had a nice meal in the travellodge’s restaurant and wandered around the next morning taking photos.<\/p>\n

Strangely I have not posted any photos of the trip home. Unlike the trip up, it was uneventful.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
