Blenheim - Kaikoura

Category : New Zealand

The wine tour was great. This old boy picked me up and I was the only one on the bus. He takes me to all teh amrloborugh wine companies and I have a little sip. I made sure I had breakfast.

He also tells me about the social aspects of his life and how he and his wife do these bus tours while in their 70's. It also explained why he hits everything that moves, or for that matter doesn't, in his car. I am teh pissed one, he's suppossed to be sober. He really is a lovely guy and looks after me all day making sure I am able to send the bottles of wine i have bought.

Cludy bay all out of stock of their famous one as limited supply. I did get to meet however the Kiwi wine conosour version of jamie oliver and not a "pukka" in sight. Was a very charmign young guy who takes you through the wines. He has a few catch phrases himself but is called james and classed as jamie oliver as he doesn't give you and pretentious bullshit. No but I bet he can chat the panties off of any woman.

After that I get dropped back at the camp site and go for a big burger and vhips to try and sober myslef up. That works so I do teh 3 hr drive to kaikoura to watch the wales.

I find the holiday camp eventually and bed down for the night!
