Woke up to a (still) rainy day. We had a lazy slow breakfast and packed up. Luckily the rain reduced to a drizzle as we were getting ready to load the car.
Then it started to rain and drizzle most of the ride to our next location:
First stop: Great Ocean Road Chocolaterie which we could not make the first time to due the controlled fires on our way to GOR. It was still raining, but that did not stop us from going to the chocolaterie.
Mei-mei loved the place (obviously..) and asked for her pictures to be taken:
After buying (a lot of) chocolates, we headed to Belle's Beach for another round of the scrumptious pies.
.. and coffee..
As we ate at the diner, we did not have enough time to catch the ferry on the hour. If we waited for the ferry, we'd have to wait for too long. So daddy opted to drive straight to Mornington.
On the way to the farmhouse, we stopped at "Crittenden Estate" which was on the same road as our farmhouse.
Unlike other wineries where wine tasting were held at the bar, here we were seated at tables. And there were packs to keep children occupied.
All smiles to play the game
Ko-ko cracking his head for the clues..
While daddy and Ah Kong decide which wines to try, we walked out to enjoy the view. Wow!!
Soon it was time to load into the car and head to our next "home". It was a beautiful, large farmhouse. This is "our area" which had it's own dining, living and bathroom:
Dining + Living room
Bathroom
Our bedroom which actually had its own exit to from the house
We even had a kookaburra which came to visit most days when we were there (sometimes bringing a friend):
This is the main living room (next to the main dining room and kitchen):
That evening, we headed to the other farm (Red Hill Lavender Farm) where the rest of the Ban clan were staying. Here is daddy trying to light the woodfire oven for the breads:
While Jack Chek-chek got busy with the barbecue grill (which daddy had already washed up earlier on):
The kids just had fun running around and playing with each other:
Yup, daddy was still struggling with it late into the night
Mei-mei took this picture of the Ban ladies:
Soon it was time to call it a night. It was a looonggg day!
