Travel: Strawberry jam with a hint of rough-as-guts

Inside the Dubay Wine Cellar in the Ba Na Hills Sun World park.

It’s not a good sign when you finally reach your destination and your wife – instantly – turns to you and says, Sorry.

After all, Sun World doesn’t just call itself a theme park, but a fairy-themed one. And yet here’s the thing: in among all the weirdness of Sun World there was a small exhibit of great intrigue.

This exhibit was a wine cellar.
