一夜好眠, 果然長途旅程還是辛苦些! 剛出來坐在客廳讓自己清醒些的時候就看到Criaig老婆跑回來拿牛奶, 早餐的地點在隔壁房子, Craig希望我們品飲的這一間能夠有較乾淨的空氣. 我順便幫忙拿了些東西過去, 也就坐下來吃早餐. 有點難以想像的是Craig居然還是個非常大男人主義的人, 早餐完全是他老婆負責處理, 我坐在那邊等吃飯還真的有點不習慣, 幾次想起來幫忙還被叫了回來. 只好一直說謝謝! 澳州人吃早餐也很有蘇格蘭風, 份量多不談, 還很油膩.
今天的第一個品飲訂在午餐之後, 顯然就算是Craig也忍受不了一早起來就喝酒的情況. 由於多數與會人士都是一起舉辦酒展的人, 大家剛好利用早上開會討論, 我就與一群婆婆媽媽們去逛展覽去.
這個展覽很像園遊會, 靠近棚子的地方有各式各樣的飲食攤位, 蠻多人來看展順便就找了個位子當起了街頭藝人, Craig被他老婆拉著網其中一個大棚子去, 原來這裡放了些與凱爾特相關的藝品在賣,有個打造凱爾特銀飾的工匠擺了相當多精美的作品, Craig幫他老婆決定了一付耳環, 我自己也順便買了個很漂亮的游準別針準備用在我的蘇格蘭裙上面.後來Craig回去開會, 我就在幾個有音樂表演的棚子聽歌, 嗯! 真的很有節慶感!
走回住處, 旁聽了一下討論, 我覺得很感動的一點是他們希望這個展覽多強調一下澳洲威士忌的特色, 看起來他們還真的對自家威士忌感到相當自豪. 不一會兒, 我們開始了今日的第一輪品飲.
