21st September 2008: Sky Tower and Te Whau winery

Popped up the Sky Tower with John M, as it was a clear day. Good views of the harbour. Not more stunning than we have already seen from the tops of hills, though. Maybe views seem better if you've earned them by climbing.

Had lunch at Te Whau vineyard on Waiheke for Sophie R's birthday, along with Claire and Graham. Their wine, The Point, was lovely, but the lunch surpassed it. Definitely the best meal we have had in NZ so far, and pretty well-priced. We will be back with parents, on birthdays, or any time I need to have that crab salad again.

The meal was accompanied by fantastic sunny views from the restaurant balcony over the Waiheke hills, vineyard, the harbour, and some alpacas in a nearby field. John was a particular fan of these, and wants to become an alpaca farmer.
