Marmolada Cafe

I have booked several tours while I'm here, and this nice little cafe is my pick up spot. Nice that I can arrive early and grab a bite. Still no groceries.

Today is a 6 hour wine tour.

It's a cloudy day, in the mid 50's. Might get a bit of rain, but I think it's only a 20% chance. Most people here are in t- shirts, and I'm wearing a long sleeve shirt, a scarf and a coat.

This poached egg ciabatta is awesome. The bread is perfect.

So the story for me on New Zealand is that I've wanted to visit here forever, like 10-15 years. I was drawn to New Zealand because of the beauty, nature and... the wine. My fav wine was from NZ.

So for years I planned that I would go to NZ for my 50th birthday. But it was covid and NZ completely shut off from the world. When I had an opportunity to go to Fiji, I knew I could not come so far, and not go to NZ. I would be so disappointed in myself. So interestingly enough, I flew into New Zealand on my 55th birthday!Læs mere
