The B&B looks marvelous...I think I remember seeing that!
Some great looking old buildings around the Freo area.

I see Dalip was trying to set you up in the jail hey!?! He wanted to keep you there for ransom I think!

Great looking food to.......I wonder why I was never asked to go there??

I'm glad you enjoyed the visit!
Ask Des Rob...he didn't take us there until very late on......selfish I'd say

Des I hope you are enjoying your 707's
Those are investment wines, not for general consumption

That's the problem with wines like that.......so expensive to drink, it's like drinking liquid Rolex Gold!!! but once its gone its gone........A Rolex you can enjoy for a lifetime and more

Of course he is good enough. He just enjoyed the VB when he was here (he was a visitor ), can't remember if he had any wine.
They had to change the VB keg twice that night at the golf club.
