Day 16 Auckland

When: day 16 Auckland

 

Where: Blenheim then Auckland

 

Weather: Blenheim was cloudy then clearing. Auckland was sunny and 25c with an ocean breeze.

 

What: travel day to Auckland

 

Who: me, Brent, old friend Max and new friend John.

 

Wine: Loveblock Sauvignon Blanc 2012 After finding out that Kim Crawford sold out to a huge American conglomerate, Brent decided to research if Kim is still producing wine. Brent found an email address, contacted him, and they told us where to buy his new, experimental wines. This is one of them, and it's lovely!

 

Whine: the 1st or 3rd game is just as depressing in New Zealand as in Canada.

 

Winery: none today

 

Wtf: Santa Claus is just as commercial here.

 

 

Bonus WTF: Justin Bieber is performing in Auckland tonight. Two teenaged girls told us we were sooooooooo lucky to be Canadian!

 

Wild: these girls crawled around on all fours and barked while Maori drummers drummed. And they weren't wearing underwear.

 

 

Wildlife: just one of the rare down under loons. Or some other waterfowl.

 

 

Water: Auckland Harbour.

 

 

 

Wonderful: tattoo culture is fully a part of kiwi culture. Awesome.
