Wine country


We've now arrived in Napier, the centre of the Hawke's Bay wine-making region. On the way here we stopped at Waipunga waterfall for a couple of pictures (and a lot of fresh air), then went to Lake Tutira to eat our sandwiches. We arrived quite early at the B&B so we've had a walk into Napier and looked around.

Tomorrow we're going on an Art Deco walk of Napier, then a 'progressive 3 course dinner' at some of the wineries (and that's after beer and wine tasting).

We also need to sort out our ferry between the islands. They've cancelled the crossing we had booked, and put us on one 3 and a half hours later, which would mean a late arrival at our accommodation that night. So we're trying to get on the earlier ferry instead, but we have to change both the ferry and hire car arrangements.
