Central Otago is noted for its gorgeous scenery, its hiker/biker Rail Trail (later) and its vineyards. We went to two, Carrick and Gibbston Valley. Lunch on the veranda at Carrick was terrific -- check out the menu on their website. In addition to wine, we bought cheese at Gibbston Valley. It makes a nice combo with their wine. We stayed at Iverson B&B in Alexandra. The 'telephone poles' in the last picture are supports for bird nets when the cherries are ripe, just like the bird nets on the ripe, red grapes at Carrick. Robyn and Roger treated us like a combination of royalty and old friends, which is very hard to beat.
The weekend weather was so good and the subsequent week so (otherwise) that we were reminded of the old expression, "Believe in miracles? Shoot, we depend on them!"
