Nelson. Aviation museum and lunch at a vinyard.

Sir Peter Jackson a famous film director worked with the Blenheim aviation museum to create scenes to show off World War I aircraft and tell stories about the airplanes. What is so amazing is that he helped them essentially build movie sets around ,out of the aircraft instead of what the air and space museum does in DC which is just display the aircraft all by themselves hanging from the ceilings.   So the next few pictures are from the museum. I went around once with Dana and then he went around another 2 times by himself. 

The next plane is one that was used for the Blue Max movie. They would not normally paint the undersides of the wings like this. 

After this we went to another small museum that had some buildings we walked around and the. We went and Saw the exhibit of the history of wine in the region. From their we went to the Hertzog winery for lunch (but no wine tasting other than the glass we had at lunch). We sat outside and it was quite nice. 

These sheep are made of grape vines. 

We went for a hot afternoon walk at wither hills farm which is a working farm and we used these to cross the fences. 

With nothing else much to do before supper we went to another winery for a tasting. 

We returned to a restaurant we had gone to the night before for some delicious tapas and Dana had an unusual beer that was beprewed with corn flakes. 

Thus ended our stay in Blenheim. After a nice breakfast at a cafe called Ritual the next morning we headed down the coast.
