Gisborne Lunches
We arrived in Gisborne on Saturday March 11 and were directe to "The Works", a restaurant in an old freezing plant. For $10 each, we were given a tasting of 5 wines accompanied by a cheese and fruit platter.
We sat on the patio, cheese arrayed before us with succulent grapes and crackrs, and a lovely display of 10 glasses of wine to savour as we tasted the various cheeses. It was the best lunch.
After a leisurely walk down the main street of Gisborne, accompanied by towering ice-cream cones, we walked on the beach. Then on to a wine tasting is Gisborne Winery where we were treated to a delicious Gewurtz for $29, one of which we took back to the motel with us. It's too good to drink, so we may bring it back to Canada!
In the evening I "felt the earth, move, under my feet" as we stood ankle deep in the pounding surf, letting it tug the beach from between our toes.
It was a crisply cool evening with a clear sky but we didn't check for the Southern Cross. Maybe tonight.
