Day 9 - 10 - winerys, picnics, BBQs and beers

Today was slightly more chilled. In the sense that we woke up after 9am.

In terms of alcohol, scenery and people... it was still crazy. 

We started with a crazy and insanely steep / dangerous /fun drive up to Bluff Hill, where you can see all of Napiers port..

Next we went to Te Mata winery to taste some wine...

Then we went to Black Barn vineyards to taste even more wine..

Both were awesomely fantastic. 

Then we went to some crazy honey place.. and dressed as bees?

 

Finally we had a drink, Skyped Grandma and Grandad Smith and sang some crazy songs!

The next day, we started with a walk up Otatana Pa.. which is super steep and slightly scary.

It's become aparant that safety isn't really a big deal in NZ..

Next we went to try out more wine at Ngatarawa Winery.

It was really nice and the Syrah was beautiful! The wine tasting was lead by an Argentinian guy who had a pretty impressive unibrow!!

Then we watched Sam and his mates play football (they were mostly a bit terrible - but it's the taking part that counts eh?)

Then we headed to the beach .. where we made a fire and had a bbq..

And Sam and Aurelie surprised us with some fireworks which were brilliant.

It's our last night with everyone and it was just blumin fantastic.
