However the stay was redeemed by a great tour of boutique wineries and then a formal tour of the city to see the Art Decor architecture.
A planned four day stay was cut short to make the six hour drive to Opotiki on the Western Cape of North Island for an idilic few days right on the beach.
See photos below of the winery cellars and the backpackers at Opotiki Beach House.

Hello Jim. It seems you are having an excellent trip. We said you would enjoy it. It's a beautiful country and and you have been to many of the places we have been to also. You are awakening a lot of happy memories of our four visits to NZ. You will find South Island different to the North, and dare I say it, maybe even prefer it, but each has its own special places to visit. Don't forget to walk up the worlds steepest hill in Dunedin, and give our regards to the pensioner who jogs up and down it several times per day !!! Make sure you visit Queenstown and take the Skyline cable car to the top. You will need your camera there !!! I could go go on but must stop. Take care in all you do. God bless. Dave and Glen. .
