Weekend in the Wairarapa

Last weekend we went over the Rimutaka mountain range (totally trust Robs driving but still spent the whole journey with my eyes shut!!!) to the beautiful Wairarapa to spend the weekend with Katy and Emily and their dog Daisy!!! They took us to some magical Glow worm caves which were just breathtaking!!!! They are a local well-kept secret and we were secretly concerned that they would have to shoot us once we discovered their location!!!! We then went to see Bic Runga play at one of the local vineyards. We had been to her gig at the Concorde Club in Brighton a couple of years ago so it was really cool to see her in her own territory!!! It was just a great way to spend the day with a bottle of the local wine sitting listening to some great music on a beautiful Summers evening!!!! We even got to watch the sun set and the moon rise!!! Katy and Emily treated us to a barbq at their house which made Robs day!!!!
