New Zealand - Day 2: Marlborough Sounds

But we had faith - and by the time we were back in the car with our two bottles of wine the sun started creeping out again. We were right up North by now, and took a wonderful drive between Picton and Blenheim (now moving from the East to the West of the island), during which you have a breathtaking view of the Marlborough Sounds, which you travel to when you take the ferry from the North to the South Island (or visa versa).

Our faithful wicked happy that the rain stopped.

Some of the wine we bought (and had to drink before we left the country as we were only travelling with hand luggage). This was a great Gewürztaminer from Grove Mill, a super winery with very good and educative tastings! They are also carbon neutral and (almost) organic wines!

Enjoying a wine after a small hike down to a hidden beach.

Mattes doing what he does. (muaks!!!!)

The Marlborough Sounds.

Hiked up a hill to catch some vista, all we really got was a nice view on our Wicked in the parking lot. Can you spot it?

Second sunset in NZ. Almost in Nelson.
