I was not anticipating temples in New Zealand, but it turns out that the Mormon temple in Hamilton is a must-do Christmas outing for its renowned Christmas lights. More impressive than the lights was the Mormon organization of the parking and traffic, with dozens of formally clad gentlemen on hand to direct the hundreds of cars into ad hoc parking lots. All that without coffee.

Another delicious lunch at another beautiful Hawke’s Bay winery. Oysters, fried pork belly, lamb rump, beef fillet, hay ice-cream with rhubarb and white chocolate, deconstructed lemon meringue pie, all washed down with Craggy Ridge’s finest wines.
