Beautiful Place!

We are here!  It didn't take long for us to figure out why everyone who visits here loves it - this is a wonderful land!  We went to Waiheke Island today; its other name is Island of Wine -perhaps not an exact translation from Maori,but it definitely fits, there are vineyards everywhere!  Our bikes have to stay boxed up for transport to the north end of the island so we rented bikes and away we went to try out the New Zealand hills and practice riding on the left.  Our rental bikes came with handy "stay left" stickers on the handlebars
  It was a good day with gorgeous views, a vineyard lunch and a stop on a beautiful nearly deserted beach, we plan to return to when we have our rest day here next week!  Walking back to our hotel we passed a yacht named "Selina Louise"!  Too bad it was misspelled!
