Waiheke Island

Today, we took a ferry to Waiheke Island. I think i remember that it is the 3rd biggest island of NZ... it was a pretty rainy, foggy, overcast day. But that did not mean it wasn't beautiful. (It is an expensive place for real estate! ) We visited a very nice vineyard and winery. Tasted a few wines and ate a lovely shared plate of finger foods. Beautiful mosaic work done by the owner as a reminder of his home in Barcelona. From there, we went to Allpress, an olive orchard, olive oil press, and producer. Tasted some great oils and honey.

After returning to Auckland, we went out with our new friends, Dave and Jeannie, and bar hopped!! Beer for Dave and Brian, wine for Nitamarie, and Coke Zero for Jeannie...(she may never fall asleep!)

Todays interesting food... White Bait Fritter...

Tomorrow, we are off to Rotorua...so excited for this! Love to all!Leer más
