Sorry it took so long, not a good Internet connection (and Blogger not working) the past couple of days. I am now in Wellington and will give an update of the past few days.
I left the Grange B&B in Napier, a pity I had to leave. Great place to stay, nice people and welcoming town.
The day before I visited first the Cheese rastaurant near the Te Mata Peak. I wanted to try some cheeses, choose 4 and thought I would get a small portion of each ... got four complete cheeses, from a nice Brie of a very smelly Blue. Great food though, bit too much :-).
After the lunch I visited some wineries and tasted 14 different wines, 10 white 4 red. The first 7 I tasted in the Mission Estate Winery, nicely located in the hills with great view over Napier. Although it is not possible to take the wines home I bought me several as in New Zealand you can "take your own" in some restaurants. They only add some uncorking to the total price.
The second winery was recommended by the people from the Grange and is very near to the B&B itself. Lesser view, but better wine. Agian I bought some bottels also to bring to the family in Carterton.
afterwards a quick dinner at the Grange and off to the Netball game. Although the home town lost "badly" from the top players from Australia it was nice to whatch the game. It was fully booked and enthousiastic atmosphere.
Afterwards we went to do some shopping and get some Pizzas, different B&B it is. Felt as being part of the family.
The next morning I only had to pay an additional 15$ (7,5 euro) for 2 dinners.
