Wine & Whales


After 10 days of living in a tent the Girls were ready for a bit of luxury. On the way back down the drop Mika in Christchurch we passed through Marlborough, and took the opportunity to stay at some Vinyards, and test the local produce! I have learnt a lot, and feel confident the I can now tell the difference between a white and a red wine.....but only if I´m allowed to look!




The Isabel Vinyard, where we stayed the night.




Gourmet food and wine, in the middle of the vines!



We made a final stop in Kaikoura before dropping Mika off, so the girls could get the first flight in Helicopter, as we flew out to observe the local wonder of a large sperm whale population. Hillevi being Norwegian was licking her lips at sighting this one, but was informed that unfortunately whaling is no longer permitted in NZ.
