Road Trip - part four


View over Morgan Hill from a nearby dam (panorama). After this we went to the Coyotee Creek golf course and had dinner outside on the course. Course was very nice but didn't get any memorble photos. End of trip.

Road Trip - part three


Then it was on to the Guglielmo winery in Morgan Hill. Pretty italian-style winery. Everyone else was tasting the wines so I joined in. I went to taste some sirah and as soon as the dude behind the counter recognised I was Australian his face just fell. "Oh this is no comparison to Australian sirah" he said (right in front of everybody) and then went on to imply I shouldn't bother tasting any of the other wines. And he was right - their pinot and merlot were dead boring and fairly average. Kinda makes one feel pretty good about home.

Wildlife


A little lizard and a little snake we saw on the Clos Los Chance Pattio.

Clos Los Chance - The courtyard


The courtyard (panorama). Overlooks some other golf course.

Road Trip - part two


Next stop was Clos Los Chance Winery. I didn't taste any wine coz I was late coming in from the courtyard making my panorama. This was one of those places they have heaps of weddings coz it is so cool. Anyway enjoy the photos.

Pick a buggy, any buggy


Cinnabar Golf Course from the club house.

Road Trip - part one

The concierge Janet at the apartment building organised a tour of the south bay area on Sunday. We got a limosine party bus from a limo company with food, champagne, leather seats etc. About 12 of us went. It was a great way to go sight seeing with others and meet people from the apartment building.
First stop was Cinnabar Golf Club where we had appertisers of fruit, cajun chicken and cheese sticks. I couldn't believe this place was a public course it was so amazing. Forgot to take any pics of the clubhouse itself though.
