Vine and branches


Away from the hustle and bustle of the city is what I like about Perth. This is a vineyard in Swan Valley (about 30 mins Northeast of Perth) owned and run just by one person. It belongs to my sis's friend and we were there to check out the crunchy grapes! We've just passed the harvesting season, so there were only a couple of good looking ones left. It's definitely a good thing to slow down one's pace of life from time to time.

Boo!

Surprise, surprise!

My sister dropped in on us. Who would have thought?
I peeled the wrapper around a gift she had for me and it was a can of Guarana! YUM-my! It's a Brazilian soft drink that's a hit in South America. The only place that sells this drink in Singapore is Carnivore (a Brazilian Restaurant) at Vivo City. Otherwise, the next closest place you can fly to to find it is Japan... ;p (How do I know? Carnivore imports their Guarana from Japan.)


My sister also brought back with her two huge bags of grapes... picked earlier during the day from her friend's vineyard in Perth! Talk about sweet and crunchy!! :O)


Enjoy your stay, Maureen! Even if it's just for a few days! ;O)
