Bago Vineyard


The drive home to Sydney is long and boring ( for the kids )... along the highway we always watch out for signs and make random stops to break the journey. Though it's a long way home we don't rush as we are always in search of places to see. As we are driving along the Pacific highway passing Wauchope , we saw a sign that says " Maze" then another one referring to maze at the vineyard . We wonder how it feels like to run through the green hedge corridor . Ok thats it where stopping.

It felt like we are the lost children of the forest as we followed the dirt road, is the whole car already in the maze? we thought as we drove deeper into the woods.

We drove past corridors of trees and past the swampland . We were so excited when we finally saw the vineyards , we jump out of the car ran into the open fields to get closer to the maze . And then we saw the sign at the entrance door, "buy tickets at the cellar" Oops so off we walked backed to the cellar .

We're not much of wine drinker but we picked up a bottle of sparkling grape juice and the tickets to the maze.

The nice cellar lady gave us a fun sheet for the things to look for in the maze as she puts a wristband on us and off we run .

Jeremy asked us to look about and run away from us

Dad took another turn to while Janella and Jet's feet got stuck in the mushy ground , ( it rained yesterday) .

So in other words we got separated. The big boys ( Dad and big brother)

Think it's funny as we shout for their names, they stayed very quiet . Janella Jet and I are starting to get worried as they have the water bottles . We were able to tick some of the items on the list though, like that pixie with a green hat, as we run through the green corridors .

After about half an hour we heard a familiar voice , shouting left ! right ! straight ! forward, Dad found his way to the watch tower .

It's not funny ! exclaimed Jet and Janella as we made our way into the tower, hang on where's our other child I asked?

And there he is refusing to accept direction.......

Gosh it was a good workout , the next hour drive home has been quite, except for the sound snores from the backseat . Anyone for stopovers ?
