Monday brought the good weather back and my drive to Wellington. Only a couple of hours across nice countryside. The final drive into Wellington was along the shore where the surf was rolling in from the other side of the Tasman Sea than I saw on the East coast of Tasmania.
Wellington is another town that seems to grow out of the sea up the steep mountains surrounding it. I managed to locate my new home for the next couple of days, Lambton Heights B&B which was up on the side of o...
Windy and showery was the morning as I ate my way through Tomarillos and Granola followed by a fluffy cheese omelette. I had booked to go on the town walk at 10:00am and headed down armed with my Gore-Tex and met up with Murray, our guide, and a Canadian gentleman who was the other member of the group. The walk was great and even included a tour of the parliament as Murray was a registered guide. We even bumped into the cabinet members on the way to look at the debating chamber!

Time for some more wine tasting! First I had to drive to Martinborough which is about 70km from Wellington. The road goes over a great mountain pass with forested hills and about 13km of switch-back turns and bumps – fantastic fun! Once the other side the valley is sweeping and wide with the vineyards pretty spread out amongst the farms.
Escarpment - after such a great single vineyard at dinner the previous night, I thought I would give Escarpment a call. They do not have a cella...

... a whistlestop tour of the city in the morning and early afternoon before getting the ferry over. If it is good weather and I am feeling extravagant I will fly over as it is only an extra 30$. I know a friend of a friend who runs a backpacker place in Picton so I may crash there tomorrow night and get some lowdown on the Marlborough sounds and around. Signing off for another day.

... for good views. Lake Tekapo is fed from the glacial melt waters and subsequently is a bright, cloudy blue in colour. This is from the particles, called flour, that the glacier grinds off of the rock as it passes. Its also supposed to have the clearest sky in NZ and there is an observatory on the hill above the lake because of this. Unfortunately, we didn't have the best night, but the milky way was clearly visible through the cloud.. Wednesday 4th February Lake Tekapo to Glentanner ...
