Napa

*(Bit behind at the moment. Will try to catch up later today)
We leave Monterey early and head up to Napa. The views are once again amazing and Izy takes lots of photos on the camera. It takes us about 2 and bit hours to make it to Napa and we park outside of this typical looking American early 20th century house. It looks better then the other houses on the street and the garden looks especially pretty. So far so good. Inside we're welcomed by Lorri and shown around and to our room. The place is great! (Monterey is now just a memory!) We're in the 'duck nook' extension. We've got a nice big and fancy room and a spacious bathroom with a two person spa bath. Lorri tells us that if we use the whole vial of bubble bath we can play hide and seek later.
Our first afternoon in Napa then consists of us heading to a winery called Luna after a recommendation from the Concierge Bonnie. Its not far and we're the only people there which is great because it means we can ask all the questions we want and take our time. The steward tells us all about how wine gets its flavours and hows its made and why certain wines have certain names and characteristics etc. We try 10 different wines and decide to purchase a bottle of white that we enjoyed. I actually try 6 different red wines but I still struggle to find them enjoyable (too smokey for me).
After luna we head to a place called Oxbow market which is a bit of a mini mall with stalls and stands selling local produce and treats etc. We buy some special cooking oils and a handful of special chocs. Then its back to the B&B for cheese and nibbles and a guide on where we should go while in Napa. At this session we meet 2 other couples around our age and we get talking for so long that its gone dark before we end. We quickly get changed and head out into town for dinner at a nice Fish restaurant called 'Fish Story'. We start with a delicious Tomato and Halloumi salad and then I go for cod and chips (nice and safe) while Izy goes for whole sole. They weren't kidding tho, its huge! Its tail is wrapped round and poked through its mouth to create a kind of ring look. Izy does very well but concedes defeat about 2/3'rds in. Then its back to the B&B for sleep!
