Martinborough, New Zealand

Life at the Vineyard

   We couldn't imagine a better spot to spend some time working and relaxing with friends.  How fortunate we are to have a standing invitation to this little piece of paradise.

Keeping Busy

It certainly looks idyllic, but don't let this picture fool you.  There is a lot of work to do on a vineyard!  Kurt has a long list to chip away at, while Allie has a wonderfully peaceful place to write.

There is always work to do around the barn!

Glow Worm Caves, Martinborough, New Zealand

On the Hunt for Glow Worms

   Seeing the glow worms takes a bit of effort, but it is well worth it.  We waded into the cool cave waters, and used our headlamps to light the path ahead.  When the final beams of daylight could no longer be seen, we turned off our headlamps, and remarked at the thread like worms that dotted the damp cave walls like sprinkles of fairy dust.  

It would be hard to guess that caves secretly hide amongst these hills.
