Thanks very much Barbie. You've made a fool of yourself and I hate to think what would have become of you if we weren't there to rescue you. Needless to say, you're grounded and you will be staying in your side pocket of my bag to think about what you've done until you are ready to come out and sincerely apologize.
Against my better judgement, we took Barbie with us yesterday when we toured the wineries. This was Barbie's first outing to the classier purveyors of alcohol and my initial fears turned out to be well founded. As soon as she asked for ice with her "freebies", I knew we were in trouble. We were forced to leave one establishment in a hurry when Jen caught her drinking straight from the spitoons. It was not such a good day! The wine tasting started off OK, with Barbie participating respectfully initially. She even bought a half dozen of some very nice Cab Sauv/Shiraz/Merlot blends from Scarpantoni to share. We were impressed. But from the beer and pizza lunch on, she just grew more and more embarrassing. She just did not know when to stop! There's at least one winery in McLaren Vale that we are not welcome to visit again. This episode has put a bit of a black mark on this leg of our journey.

Message for Barbie - keep enjoying the trip and don't let Greg spoil it for you. Also I have news of Ken - he's currently on his way to Scotland.

Woah Barbie, those are big peas you have managed to swallow and then bring up again. What have you had in your mouth previously to allow the passage to and fro of such large objects... Your behavior truly is a disgrace!!!
