Martinborough Road Trips
Part of the joy of our house sit here in Martinborough is exploring the area around this beautiful town. We have done a couple of short road trips to explore and they have been wonderful. The small town of Greytown, just 15 minutes north of us is a wonderful diversion. If you love trendy little…

More from Fiji
We have experienced a variety of weather conditions over the last couple of weeks. Some of which resulted in some pretty weird colours at sunset, as seen above.
