The island of Waiheke has a local history museum. It is a cluttered collection of items, mainly from the early 20th century through WWII, but some of it is quite interesting. Some of this looks like our house (I think I have mentioned some of the elderly items that have retired to our rental). Ilona, who works in a museum in Pittsburgh, sees some possibilities there.
After our museum visit, we went off to one of the wineries, and enjoyed the tasting there far more than normal. Often, the tasting is either rushed or pompous (or both) but at Christensen Estate the tasting (done by Mrs. Christensen, I think) was relaxed and informal. We ended up buying a number of their delicious "Feather White" wines. (The cow skeleton is from a farm nearby).
