winding down :)

Wine
From Abel Tasman, we drove to Blenheim/Renwick in the Marlbrough Wine Region aka Mecca :)

Jessie and I had already biked around this area to all the wineries tasting Sav Blanc but sometimes you just have to take one for the team and do something twice :)

Need I say more about this...tasting wine, riding bikes, the scenery of NZ...life doesn't get much better.

Marlbrough Sounds
After drinking and purchasing 2 CASES of the nectar of the Gods - I mean Sav Blanc we went to Portage Bay in the Marlbrough Sounds (this is where we had done the Queen Charlotte Track 6 weeks ago) - it such a gorgeous section of NZ we had to show mom and dad!

After a hike and kayaking in the Sounds - it was time to take them back to Picton for their flight home :( They literally took the smallest plane known to mankind from Picton over the Cook Straigt to Wellington and then on to Auckland and then to LAX to Atl - LONG day for them!

We had a WONDERFUL time with them and hated to see them go - we miss you mom and dad!!

More to come soon.

We are on the North Island now - little teaser for ya :)
