We are determined to get home being able to fit into our clothes in storage so are embarking on an exercise regime which involves getting caffeined up to the eyeballs then running up and down an extinct volcano every day, we will write a self help book about it when we get home and make a fortune.
Day One and we did an 11 min walk to Rad for Guy to have their famous flat white. I stuck with a reliable long black (as opposed to a short black which is an espresso). Guy liked the flat white as it was less milky and more coffee than the usual frothy, milky coffee concoctions.
We had a light jog up aforementioned volcano and were greeted with even more Chinese tourists than yesterday.
Back down the volcano and Guy cooked up a hearty breakfast of huevos rancheros which we demolished in seconds.
We had a wander down Dominion Road nearby and checked out the Chinese quarter, it was too early for dumplings so we carried onto Mt Eden shops which are varied and include an allotment, the likes of which I have never seen before.
We then carried on past a small kids playground with a bucket contraption in it. Like Aquarama in Bennicassim, if anyone has been there.
Back in Mt Eden and we chance upon an independent wine shop. What are the chances of that? We chatted to the chap in the shop for sometime, purchased 2 bottles of wine and went home to plan and book much of the remaining time we have left accompanied by a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc.
Dinner was leftovers salad.
We watched Hateful Eight on our 42″ TV in our room and drank Pinot Noir.
Wines tasted:
Waiheke Island Sauvignon Blanc Man O’ War 2015
Marlborough Pinot Nior Giesen 2015
