Melbourne 2008

It's time again for my yearly trip to our Melbourne office. Arrived early on sunday morning in Melbourne and decided to go for a wine tour. The tour brought us to 4 different wineries and lunch is included. Vineyards have always been my favourite, guess its because we lived in a "concrete" city and vast land is simply impossible to find and even if you see one, its either state land or waiting for some developer to buy over and start to build more residences.

I am not much of a wine drinker and my preference is certainly sweet wine such as riesling and port. I had a great time at the vineyards and certainly enjoyed the cool temperature.

The next 2 days are spent at our Melbourne office discussing and resolving issues. It was a fruitful trip and things are certainly looking better than the previous year when I visited the office.

Had an early finish at the 2nd day and after depositing my stuff back at the hotel after lunch, I proceeded to the DFO near the hotel and walked around for a while. Bought a pair of boots (thank god i bought it as the pair back home was spoilt when I checked it the other day) and some clothes. The kids clothes are really cute but mostly are for the winter season.

I had apple strudel from one of the shop at crown entertainment centre after dinner one evening and it was really nice. Krispy Kreme doesn't really taste as nice as the ones I had from Jakarta.

And that concludes my Melbourne trip.
