Bicheno day trip

A little schoolwork this morning and avoided the rain hanging around by heading into Bicheno to fill a gas bottle for the fridge and such.
The town was nice as we enjoyed a little free wifi and looked at the beach/rock area where we seen divers below and took some snaps of the blowhole here which was being driven by a fairly good surf today .
Lunch at the bakery was a treat then we headed back with the gas for the camper but we didn't stay after our beach walk close by as it started to rain.
I came up with the idea of a quick winery tour of the region we were in renowned for its Rieslings and Pinot styles.
Freycinet vineyard was the first stop and we were here awhile with several samples and a glass each I preferred the cab merlot here but Corinna fell in Love with the botrytis Riesling (of course!)
This went well with our ample ash grove cheese platter that Ej enjoyed as well.
The on across the road to the brown brothers owned devils corner and the 5 year old vines provided some fairly good whirs there too.
The last stop was Milton vineyard which had some exceptional wines which we sample and brought some there too but it was quite heavy rain now so we took of for the camper and stayed indoors tonight and watched a movie on the computer .
