                | We are staying at a 'bach' prounounced 'batch'. 
 An NZ cross between a beach hut and a summer house.  Baches are often on the beach although ours is on 
the edge of a vineyard!   In fact almost everywhere in Martinborough is next to or in a vineyard, many of 
these have cellar doors open for tasting and some sell food.  As you 
can imagine it is a difficult place to stay!!  At least, difficult to 
stay and not put on pounds.   Our bach and garden view.   There is no cooker in the bach only a microwave 
so the Skipper is increasing the BBQ experience, lamb chops, sausages 
from the local butcher etc. always do well, but now blueberry pancakes 
indeed! Cycling is the perfect way to get around to taste 
all these wines. The only wobbling along on bikes so far has been 
practicing cycling along 'no hands', just testing.   Then the serious moment...  and later in the day fine dining!  |
