It's been a tough 24 hours. First there was the earth tremor about 7.30 last night. Rumbly, and about 15 seconds. We shot out from our "unit" but everyone else carried on and ignored it totally. Hi-hum.
Anyway, today dawned wet and cloudy, so we decided to go wine tasting in Marlborough. This was tough. The home of whither hills, Oyster Bay, and, of course,Cloudy Bay. We called in at Cloudy Bay early on, with the palettes still fresh. Opening with the Sauvignon Blanc, Sarah thought it was "ok" (if you like whites you'll know Cloudy is rated as one of the best in the world...). Anyway, we bought a bottle then popped over the road to Allan Scotts for another little sesh, and decided to stay for lunch. Mark managed a dozen green-lipped mussels, Sarah a chicken pate, all for about 19 pounds- and they threw a bottle in as well because the service was very slow. So we have had an excellent lunch, and we have 2 good bottles of sauv. Blanc. to go at before we fly back.
It's been a tough day. Tomorrow we move on to Abel Tasman national park.
