Today I went to the Bundaberg Rum distillery in Bundaberg, Queensland. Our group got a tour of the rum distillery and learned how rum is converted from molasses into alcohol. In the distillery the alcohol is put into giant kegs for at least two years in order to obtain the unique flavor that is associated with Bundaberg rum. The wood from the kegs comes from the Appalachian Mountains on the border of the U.S. and Canada; however, 96%of the rum is not available outside of Australia. To make the tour even more amazing we all got a sample of the pure molasses used to make the rum and two types of rum. All of us were not 21 but that is ok because the drinking age is 18 in Australia.
On our way to lunch, a car ran into our bus. Our millionaire casino-owner coach driver got out of the bus very upset, but luckily no one was hurt. 
While we were eating lunch, I heard some loud noises coming from a tropical tree nearby. When I got a closer look I saw that the tree was full of parrots! These birds were so beautiful; they were green, blue yellow orange and red.
