Dream Trip 2009

Great Travel Moment

On a work trip to Auckland, I had one single day to myself to play tourist. On local recommendation, I took the ferry out to Waiheke Island. Ready to explore the famed beaches and wineries of the island, I couldn't have been more dismayed when clouds rolled out and it began to rain. Not wanting to waste a moment of my free day, I trudged through the showers. As suddenly as they began, they ceased, just as I happend upon this gorgeous vineyard. The clouds lifted, along with my spirits, and rays of sunshine breamed down for the remainder of that day, allowing me to take in the beauty and serenity of the island.
