Today we went to the farmers’ market again. We needed to stock up on vegetarian cheese and fresh vegetables. The cheese man has really nice “volcanic” cheese which says “can be used as haloumi” – it’s really nice baked and added to a salad.
We also went to see the man from the Fat Pig vineyard. He is currently looking after the vines on the property we are interested in. He has a stall on the market every week and was very busy. He did have time to have a quick chat with us and tell us briefly how things work but said he’d be happy to chat for longer and that we could visit him if we wanted to do that. We bought a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc from him just to be polite!

After lunch we thought we’d go for a walk. Rainbow Falls is just a five minute drive from our house so we headed there (the first photo explains why it's named Rainbow Falls).
There were lots of people in the water at the falls. We walked down the Kerikeri river track for about an hour to the town basin and then walked back. It was very tropical with lots cicadas clicking and lots of different bird song. It was also very humid – like walking in a greenhouse. We were very grateful for a cold drink when we got home!
