Wine, food and sunshine.....

Oh, the good life....

On our second day on the south island we did, what else? A WINE TOUR of the Marlborough region. Priorities, priorities....

This is the largest wine producing region in New Zealand, and arguably produces the very best Savignton Blanc in the world. We joined a local tour and visited 10, yes 10, wineries in one afternoon! Our palates were so confused by the end, not to mention our sense of direction!Don't worry mom, we weren't driving that day.

Our favourite bottle was found at a winery called Bladen. KaHung, like what I found in Australia and you in Argentina, it seems that Canada does not get much of the best of NZ - it has to do with the taxation of the wine, as before. When we get home, we'll give you our compelte list of the good, the better, and the best!

So many wineries, so little time

Now, I MUST mention the seafood we've been enjoying here. The town we stayed in is famous for their mussels. In fact, the day we arrived was the annual Mussel Festival. Truly, it's as good as it looks!

This is a local mussel restaurant in Havelock. Take a look at what's on the roof!

Ooohh baby!
