The rain predicted in the morning wasn’t as heavy as they’d
threatened but we took it easy and stayed in playing cards anyway. We are
getting Becks hooked on five-crowns!

Around lunchtime we decided it would be a good idea to
follow up a recommendation from the Hurrells and pay a visit to Mercury bay
winery as there was no sign of the rain easing. Despite telling the staff we were only there for a wine tasting, in no
time at all we had decided to order some olives and a cheese board. This was
completely the correct decision! The
non-drivers enjoyed a four-glass wine tasting assortment of our choice whilst
the driver had to settle for just two small taster glasses. It was all
delicious!

We explored more of the area in the car whilst dodging
further rain showers and did some shopping in Whitianga. We’d driven passed a cool looking bar, the
Coroglen Tavern, and it seemed a shame not to venture inside. What a bar!

It
was extremely quiet today but with pool tables, dart boards, a duke box and a
live music stage out the back we could tell that this would be a good place to
spend more time. We stayed for a few
games of pool and introduced Becks to some different dart games that she may
need to know the rules to in the next day or two!
Becks and I had drunk quite an amount by the time we left
and we felt it only fair that we returned to the caravan so that Simon could
also have a few bevvies with us.
