  • Day 31 - Wine tasting..

    2 juli 2024, England ⋅ ☁ 15 °C

    Quiet morning here at Northcote. Cory is working.
    Hollie needed to exercise her horse so she took the horse and I pushed Leo in the pram, and we went for a walk.
    We had an early yummy lunch of pastries and bagels.

    Hollie & Cory brought Danny a voucher for a 1 hour wine tasting for two at the nearby vineyard Denbies.
    We arrived at 12 and started our Tour. We were given a tall glass of wine and sat down to watch a 20 min video on the Estate and it's history. The vineyard is 265 acres on rolling land. Originally Pigs and dairy then turned vineyard. It used to be the largest in England and even the Queen visited.
    Danny and I learnt alot about the vines!
    We moved through to the fermenting room where we were given another glass of bubbly (now remember I don't drink hardly!)
    Here we learnt about the process of different wines and how some are artificially carbonated and how some are carbonated naturally by yeast fermentation.
    We then move down to a wedding reception area where we were poured another glass.. and then it was a must to try the red so another glass.. đŸ€ŁđŸ„Ž
    Our Tour ended here and we went to the elaborate gift shop. We brought our hosts some wine đŸ·
    Hopping back in the car I was feeling rather rosey in the cheeks and a bit happy đŸ€Ł Danny I'm sure was on point too 👌 đŸ€Ł
    Hollie picked us up with Kels & Guy and took us to the river with bloody stepping stones 😅 I am telling you NOT great after wine tasting but we did manage to not fall in!
    After a short walk it was home to sober up and get Tyler from school.
    Kids had a swim.
    We ended the evening by taking the whole family out to dinner at the pub Hollie works at the Surrey Oaks.
    It was a lovely last evening of our holiday and tomorrow we do have the horrible job of packing đŸ˜Ș

    Day 32 - Packing đŸ’Œ

    3 juli 2024, England ⋅ ☁ 16 °C

    Had to start packing this morning đŸ˜Ș
    Lucky we managed to get everything in! 🙈 bags are definitely full and heavy lol

    Had a quick trip to Tescos with Hollie and Debs today. Love this place! It's countdown/warehouse/kmart all mixed together lol literally you can shop for anything!

    Home to some lunch and final packing.
    Kels and Guy went with Hollie to pick Tyler up from school, then they popped to the park for a play before coming home for a quick swim! Bit cold for that today!

    Then came the time we hate most.. saying Goodbye 😭😱
    It has been a wonderful 12 days with Cory, Hollie, Tyler & meeting Leo. It was so special to spend some extended time here as it has been a long 4 years apart đŸ„č We will miss them sooo much, already cannot wait for the next meeting!
    Debs & Graeme also welcomed us into the home with open arms which we are very grateful.

    I will never ever complain about NZ roads again 😅
    Love looking at the old architecture and learning about all the history. Gosh NZ is such a new country 🙈

    It's definitely been a very sad evening saying Goodbye to close family and also knowing that our holiday has come to an end 😱 I sit here and reflect on an incredible 5 weeks ❀
    945 pm flight soon and 30 hours to get home. Wish us luck!

    Day 33 - Perretts clocking out

    5 juli 2024, Nya Zeeland ⋅ 🌙 7 °C

    We boarded our 7 hour flight from Britian to Dubai. This went smoothly, Guy managed to sleep most of that trip as it was 10pm.
    Arrived in Dubai 730am, got to our gate at 8am and we're sitting on the plane again 9am đŸ„Ž it's a big 24 hours doing it all at once that's for sure! Everything went smoothly and we got our connecting flight to New Plymouth.

    Trip round up..
    I worked out we spent about 55hours on planes đŸ˜Č and not only that but we covered many many miles via train and car!

    We cannot believe how easy it is to navigate the airports. I expected it would be alot harder! We gave ourselves a rule to be there 3 hours before take off and it worked perfectly everytime, usually we would check in, bag drop, eat, have a look around and head to our gate. Very minimal waiting! And how lucky were we to have 9 flights with no delays and 9 smooth flights too.

    Danny and I quite often have spoken about what was the favourite part of this holiday and we keep coming back to the fact that it was the friends and family we stayed with that made this holiday. We cannot thank each and everyone of you for how we were looked after, and we've made new friends for life too x

    Motto of the holiday..
    " if it's free, push out a pee" đŸ€Ł

    Every place we visited on this trip exceed our expectations and was beautiful in it's own way.
    I think it's safe to say we had 33 days of highs and no lows, just an incredible trip we had.

    It 6pm here in NZ and everyone is already in bed. We are knackered out.

    So thanks to those who have followed along with our journey I hope you've enjoyed it! 😘😘
