Last weekend we took the ferry from Blenheim (on the south island) to Wellington (on the north island) to attend this show. While the Cook Strait is known to be rough crossing usually, the water gods smiled down on me and provided a relatively calm ride. While I love the water and water activities, my stomach hates them. I usually just go along with my planned event and suffer the stomach problems soI was doing the happy dance on that crossing.
Our son-in-law and daughter were exhibiting Forrest wines at the show. What a treat! We got to sample a lot of amazing wines - along with some no so amazing and sample equally great food. The people we met at the show - just other attendees - were so much fun and so open and hospitable. In fact, one couple invited us to come back to Wellington to spend a weekend with them visiting wineries in their area. Since we've been in New Zealand, we have eating some amazing Thai, Indian and Malaysian food. The flavors are so fresh and lively that they seem in stark contrast to the winter weather. I had the chance to take 2 cooking classes while at the show and can't wait to cook chicken curry laksa (a malaysian soup). Yum yum!
