Hawke's Bay


Based on a fairly good weather forecast, we drove to Hawke’s Bay on the Pacific for a three day week end. We stopped on the way to visit Di Jones, an ultrasound tech, who lives in the country with her husband, Kevin. Di works at the hospital three days a week, and Jim is always in a better mood on those days he works with her. 

Some bike riding, hiking, a market, several beaches, a couple of restaurants, and a lovely view of the bay from our hotel along with some sun and warm temperatures (18C or 64F). A great week end!








The weather during the ride was a bit chilly and I took no chances of getting cold.

Some great cabbage! It really was this green.


We took a coastal walk at Waipatiki Beach north of Napier

It is so fun to see the lambs again but the moms were not happy to see us!


We drove to the top of Te Mata and hiked around a bit-another beautiful spot.

It was so gusty that I wouldn't go where Jim was.
