Yesterday, we drove from Rotorua to Hawke’s Bay. I’m not sure if we mentioned this before, but we are basically driving through the whole country of New Zealand. We started in Auckland then drove to Rotorua and now we are in Hawke’s Bay. It is easier to understand when you look at a map of New Zealand. We are starting in the North Island and going all the way to Queenstown, which is part of the South Island. We get from 1 island to the next by taking the ferry.
So that is our overall plan.
Hawke’s Bay is another wine growing region of New Zealand. Here, we are staying in a vineyard cottage. It is literally a little house overlooking the Tuki vineyard. I love it here!! We drove up a little gravel pathway flanked by lime trees on one side and grape vines on the other. When we got to the cottage, we were greeted by the hens. Obviously, they are very comfortable with visitors because they ran right up to us. Actually, I think that they just wanted to be fed!
