Thursday 26th August
After the excitement of the Bungy
jump we drove a short distance towards Cromwell and the wine region of Otago. We
stopped at Peregrine Vineyard, a new contemporary award winning building
that sits comfortably alongside original stone buildings. We tasted a number of
wines before heading back to Arrowtown.

Back in Arrowtown we went to
Dorothy Browns Cinema, its a quirky little Cinema and bar with two screens, the
main cinema can accommodate 20 people and The Den 15. We settled down in The Den
with some cheese and wine, very civilized, to watch The Last
Station starring Helen Mirran and Christopher Plummer. It is a love story set
during the last year of the life and turbulent marriage of Russian writer Leo
Tolstoy and his wife Countess Sofya. I think Paul could have done with something
a bit more light hearted because as soon as the lights were dimmed he fell
asleep. Too much excitement for one day.
