Monday was an early one as we had to catch the ferry across to the south island.  3 hours later we were in picton/marlbourgh on the south island.  We went straight to a winery for a sample.  Lunch was at another winery.  After lunch it was to another winery where it hailed while we were sampling.  Then it was to our villa's for 2 nights.  We stopped at a grocery store and got food and beer for a cookout.  Every apt would make a dish to pass and we made steaks, lamb, salmon and shrimp
