It's Saturday night and we've both had our showers (on the back of Firefly) and now Lora's putting on her makeup. We had a fun day in the sun and now we're heading downtown to Duval St. to hit some of the clubs.

Akarua Winery, Bannockburn, January 25, 2015 New Zealand, on our Journey to Queenstown.
Central Otago, as a viticultural region, arguably more than any other New Zealand wine growing region, has rapidly gained international market and media credibility for producing pinot noir. Pioneers in the 1980's such as Alan Brady at Gibbston, Vernon & Sue Burgess at Alexandra and Rolf & Lois Mills in Wanaka, had defied all nay-sayers by producing serious wines under the most challenging circumstances and this activated a surge of enthusiasm and investment in the industry over the next two decades.
Scientific temperature data that had been collated by engineers that were building the nearby Clyde dam in the 1980's identified Bannockburn in particular as possessing seasonal temperatures and weather characteristics that were akin to Burgundy. The Skeggs family had a long association with Central Otago after holidaying there since the 1970's and in the mid 1990's, Sir Clifford Skeggs was in the first cluster of people to commit to this region on a large scale and therefore managed to secure one of the finest elevated North facing sites in Bannockburn.
Vines at Akarua were first planted in 1996 and further vineyard development has progressed in the intervening period. A small vintage was produced in 1999 from the new Akarua winery and over time as vine age increased along with knowledge of the site, quality has been on the rise year by year. An outstanding 2002 vintage saw Akarua win the Air New Zealand Champion Wine of Show with the 2002 Akarua Pinot Noir, as well as a raft of other awards and media accolades throughout the 2000's.

We'd headed out after dinner to photograph the sunset. This was my first choice for location: a good all-around view and I could get reasonably close to the edge. Not too close, though, as I didn't want to slip and fall.
The bold colours might look enhanced, but you'll have to trust that I haven't boosted saturation a bit!

Harris of Outer Hebrides is famed for its beaches. In truth, a fair part of its highly-indented coastline is very rocky. But where the coast of Harris is sandy, it does offer some of the very best beaches you will find anywhere. And perhaps the best of them all, certainly the largest and the most spectacular of them all, is Luskentyre Beach.
Luskentyre Bay bites deeply into the western side of South Harris. Although the isles are called Lewis and Harris, they are actually one single land mass. Luskentyre Beach is located just a few miles south of Tarbert. Tarbert is the capital of Harris, but it is also here that the island is so narrow that it almost becomes separated into two. Just like at Luskentyre, a deep indents have been carved so far into the land on both coastal sides of the island, that they almost meet in the middle to separate Harris and Lewis into two islands.
At high tide much of the bay is submerged, becoming part of the Sound of Taransay and looking out to the island of Taransay. This island gained media recognition after a BBC television programme based a group of people here for one year to live on the island's resources as 'castaways'.
