Our trip to the Wairarapa

We went to the Wairarapa last weekend and stayed here:

Our trip over the Rimutaka pass was quite slow so we were still driving, albeit only a few miles from our bach, when the sun began to set.   Gran, check these out!!




The next day, we went for long walks in the hills, Ed had a little fish, again no trout to be seen.
This is the view from ouur bach.


On Sunday we drove to Castle Point, named by Cook in C18th.  Stunning beaches - about 40 houses, a church and a very basic shop.  Meant there was no restaurant to drink a cool chablis and eat some seafood but devoid of people, again!   We need a cool box, everyone is so self sufficient here, they don't need Rick Stein.  They pull on a wet suit, dive for some scallops and light a BBQ. Nice.
