Hawkes Bay

Up and out with a nice cooked breakfast this morning. First stop this morning, the National Aquarium in Napier. Not really a touch on Ocean Park, but then not much is going to be; however good fun and Rebecca had fun on a travelator that travelled though a under tank walk through

Wine tasting! It turns out that the majority of the vineyards are down a bit south of Napier so we had a bit of a drive but not too bad. Managed to get in 5 vineyards in the afternoon. The wine here is quite different from that in the south island. The different vineyards really do produce wine that tastes different is the main thing. The reds were also quite a lot nicer than in the south and we bought a couple. Good news is that we found out the allowance is 5 bottles each; more than I thought originally Dinner was steak cooked by the Mrs and then a bottle of wine was required.

So, hot off the press, Li got accosted by a bloke on the camp site claiming he hadn’t eaten for a week. She’s just gone and given him a pack of instant noodles that we didn’t want and a bottle of really horrid red wine that we bought for 28pence and was about to chuck out!!
