Hey hey! Kim's here to share her experience of the second day in Perth. ^^- - - - - - - - - -
One thing to be glad of when living with your friends, is that at least one of them are early birds… Well, after waking everyone in the cabin up, we prepared ourselves and headed for breakfast. After which, we went over to the winery. Before that, we fed the horses with most of us ending up with horse saliva all over our hands. Upon reaching the winery, there was a sheep shearing demonstration. Somehow, I do pity the sheep being sheared of their wool. Must be really freezing without a warm coat…
Our guide, David, showed us around the winery and explained to us about the process of making wine. Well, they have to start picking the wine grapes early in the morning at about 5-6am and ‘squish’ the grapes into juice and pulps. In this step, the grapes are placed into a machine that specializes in picking out the stalks. Yeast would be added and the juice is left to ferment for a week. After that, the wine would be transferred into stainless steel bins and sealed for further fermentation.
Also, we were showed how to bottle up the wine, inserting the cork in and sealing the mouth of the bottle. It was fun! After which, we took some photos of the awesome scenery and had yet another ‘feed the animal session’! The goats are really friendly. Later, we were given some free time to update our travel log.
Next, the Treasure Hunt! We were divided into four groups and had to accomplish some tasks to win the prize. The first task was to build a tower with balloons to the height of a chair. Amazingly, our group was the first to finish and went on to the second task. We had to collect 15 different kinds of leaves and 7 different kinds of fruits found in the farm. After which, we had to explain the process of making wine. Next, we had to prevent the egg from breaking when falling from a certain height. Well, we scotch-taped the egg with leaves, hay and the skin of a pomelo. After which, the egg was thrown down from that certain height. Luckily, it did not break. We proceeded on to the next task, which was to find any 12 pictures among the 18 pictures given. Although we were the last group, it was rather a fun experience.
After dinner, we had a small campfire. Again, we were split into small groups and had to present a cheer for everyone. The best was from nonetheless, the boys. Why you may ask? Well, they had a special request from Ms Michael, and that was… A Pole Dance! I truly pity the boys for that! After that, the teachers presented a cute cheer to us. Ha ha! That was so much fun! We ended the campfire and headed back inside to watch a movie. Soon, it was time to go back for a good night rest. Well, the night’s never young!
