The Road trip: Day 6 Martinborough and Greytown

The first Saturday in February and March Martinborough, a wine producing town in the Wairarapa, hosts its annual fair. It is always a packed affair with stalls from all over the region, and beyond, selling a whole host of goods. Blair had never visited the fair before so it was a new experience for both of us.

A couple of hours later, armed with our newly purchased carrot pickle (!), we returned to Greytown for a light lunch. Even before I came to New Zealand I spotted in the guide book a reference to the “Main Street Deli”, a delicatessen shop and café in the middle of Greytown. I knew I had to visit! Well, dear readers you will be glad to know that the Deli lived up to its name, so after a not-so-light lunch and a bit of a sunstroke we managed to rolled back to Blair’s parents’ house.


In the evening Blair’s parents took us out to a lovely Italian restaurant, Salute, where once again the food was fab and I just could not resist eating a bit too much! (Can you spot the food theme emerging from this trip?!)
