Martinborough, April 18-20th

We had been very hard working and tired for the last six weeks. Then, the mid-break comes, we had planned to go away from Wellington, get some fresh air and reboot ourselves before the next-half starts...

There were four of us (P'aor, Kerry, Pa, myself). Martinborough was our destination. It's only an hour away from Welly. The main purposes of the trip were wine tasting, golfing, relaxing, and of course having fun fun and fun!!!!

On April 18th, we left Welly around lunch time... It was raining at that time... Anyway, we had no worries, just had fun (that's the rule)... eiei :D ... We dropped to do some food shopping in Lower hutt, have home made pies in a city before Martinborough and we got there around 3.30pm. After checking in (martinborough motel) and putting our stuff away, we were ready for our first mission which was "wine tasting"... eiei... Martinborough was a wineyard city. Some of wineyards provide tasting for free, others charge a dollar per served. They're boutique wines which are quite expensive (for us). :D I've tried dessert wines. It's quite sweet... I like it though.

The second day, we went for golfing... The weather was fantastic, clear and blue sky!!!! We went for 9 holes only, but it took us quite a big while... (because of me, sorry guys!!!)... It was my first time for that. It was hard to me honestly. However, I thanked you guys (esp. Kerry) for the patience. I had lots of fun!!! After coming from golfing, we (three girls) went for a run... Gosh, it was more like camping, wasn't it? Then, we had lovely dinner, played cards, had a long chat and went to bed without any energy left.

The last day :( , no one wanted to wake up at all as we spent all the energy the day before... We checked out on time 10am. We drove to Greytown for late breakfast. It's a very small city as other cities in Nz actually... eiei... It's a lovely city anyway!!!!

We arrived Wellington around 1pm. I went to bed straightaway. My body was sored and I felt even more tired... All of us (except Kerry) were sick and tired after the trip... Probably, we were pushing ourselves too much... eiei ... It was fun though!!!

Thanks for P'aor, pa and kerry naja!!! Look forward to the next trip!
