Day 2 - Rain

Day 2 dawned to clearing skies after steady overnight rain - disaster for the snow as was the warm northeast air. As Jus and Paul have season passes they are fair weather/snow skiers so we decided on a day of touring.

First we visited the rather touristy Arrowtown and it's gold mining past. Lots of Japanese tourists and cowardly skiers there with us.

We returned to Olive Lane after Mikayla had been dropped at school and headed to PeregrineWinery, makers of a superb Pinot Noir. Don has bo
ught so much that we were able to have a private barrel
tasting. I might buy Tess half a dozen for her birthday.

PS I did! Well, shared a case with Don. Happy birthday Tess!
