Left Westport bright and early again no chance of lie in for me!!! First catastrophe of the day hair dryer blew up whilst using it in the van.......looks like bad hair days for rest of holiday!!! Visited seal colony saw lots of seals no blue penguins tho. Had lunch with the ducks and bees by the lake. Arrived in Marlborough region early afternoon.......bring on the Sav Blanc. Just missed William and Kate by 2hrs locals all raving about them. Lovely drive through the vineyards in the rain. Hired a couple of bikes to cycle to the cellar doors still raining.....nothing dampens our spirits. Managed 2 vineyards the chocolate factory and the local brewery before it got dark! Cycled home 2 drowned rats. Rained cats and dogs all night!!!!! off to visit 2 more wineries this morning and lunch at cloudy bay. Will then move on this afternoon to find the sun.
