Message on the message bank tonight (I'd had a numb mouth from being at the dentist, and couldn't talk on the phone) - there's a couple of words I'm not sure I got right .. that's why there's a (?) in a few spots.
"Today we went to several very yummy places.
We went to the House of Ambers chocolate factory again. Had a chance to look round which we didn't last time and saw chocolates being made and a garden with heaps of trees and other plants. Had a very yummy lunch followed by icecream for Barry and a couple of chocolate truffles for Cathy.
Then went to the Ashgrove (?) cheese factory where we tasted about a dozen different sorts of cheeses and bought a couple. Also tasted some orange(?) honey and ginger honey and Bill's beetroot marmalade which was very nice, sort of chutney-ish.
Then we went to Christmas hills raspberry farm cafe where we had very yummy raspberry things, (at least C did, B reckons the seeds are too much like grits). Had a crepe with raspberries in it and raspberry sauce on it and raspberry icecream and cream with it.
Had a totally delicious day, and spent a lot of money on eating, but it was nice.
Still in Launceston, moving on tomorrow."

This blog follows Phil and Jackie, and Barry and Cathy, on their travels through the west of Australia. Hopefully we will update every day while we are away.

The House of Ambers chocolate factory sounds absolutely wonderful. If you love chocolate (and who doesn't) you could try the chocolate walk in Melbourne - http://www.chocoholictours.com.au/chocolate_tours_historical.html. It is an absolutely fantastic tour. Hum I might have to raid the house now looking for some chocolate.
It sounds like you both are having a great time. I hope we can catch up for a stamping day when you get back.
