The drive south, not on the main road, which adds a couple of hours to a three hour journey, with such amazing scenery, full of rolling hills and some less rolling, covered with sheep and cows. We could not believe how much beautiful land there is without many people!
We followed a sign to Waihi falls which we had previously marked. It was 18 minutes from the road…. of rough track!
The waterfalls were definitely worth it!
We finally got to Martinborough, a wine region by Wellington. Still not many vines though!
