It is our second trip to Wellington in less than a year. The CBD has a beautiful waterfront surrounded by towering hills. One of the craft beer pubs we discovered on the previous visit was Fork & Brewer. We pass by for a brew on our first day's walk through the CBD. We return for lunch on the second day.
Who goes to a different country to purchase socks? We do. James introduced CJ to Icebreaker socks. CJ introduced Carol to them. Now, for the second visit, their shop is a stop on our tour.
Garage Project is a respected Wellington craft brewer. While walking along the waterfront across the street from the Intercontinental, CJ spies their sign. Bin 44 is a restaurant/craft beer bar with 22 beers on tap. CJ is in heaven. They have recently had a stout festival. They still have many on tap, two are absolute crackers. CJ orders one. Even though not available for sampling, once CJ orders a pint, the bartender gives him a sample of the one he really wants. He'll be back for it.
On our last visit we crossed to the South Island to Marlborough wine country. This time we book a tour to Martinborough. There are five of us and the guide. To get there one must climb and descend a mountain on a serpentine road. We can't help wondering what the Tour de France classification would be for the climb.
We visit three wineries having a very good lunch at Moy Hall. We visit Palliser, Moy Hall, The Rumholder.
