Wine Trail N.I.
I have had 18 Aussies from a wine society South of Brisbane on my bus for a few days, watching in envy as they tasted $60 wines with comments from the wine maker.
A quick stop in Featherson caught the pride of KiwiRail coming through at a good clip. I didn't know they have the only surviving Fell steam engine on display, and that they had 400 Japanese POW's during WW2, as well as a mutiny and quite a few killed.
Here's the bus spoiling the view at Craggy Range.
I got them tonight, they are at Te Puia (Whakarewarewa) for a hangi and a hongi - what's the wine match for that? Smelly hot water?
I had a nice salami pizza at 'Eat Street' with Chianti and Toscana as my wine match.
Heading for Auckland tomorrow via two Tauranga and one Karangahake vineyards.
