So tonight is night 8 of our travels. Mummy is writing this for me as I am tucked up in bed and Daddy has gone out for the night, more about this later. Since the last blog we have travelled 500 kms and are nearly at the bottom of the North Island. We have visited a vineyard called, Craggy Range, where Daddy sampled 7, yes 7, different wines (u can guess who was driving) and bought 2 bottles of wine. Mummy and I looked at the flowers and visited the toilets, which isn't uncommon for me. Our campsite last night was in Martinborough. It was lovely and I played for hours on a swing with the only interuption being my tea. The photo is Mummy and me painting. So you ask, where is Daddy tonight. Well, he has flown to Auckland, left Mummy and me in a very wet campsite just outside of Wellington, to see The Screachers, as mummy calls them, in concert. The group are The Sisters of Mercy and according to Daddy, he has liked them for years and years. We will drive to the airport in Wellington tomorrow to collect Daddy then it's on the ferry off to Picton and our travels in the South begin.

Signing off for now, night, night.
