Last weekend myself and Sue took a trip up to Hawkes Bay (on the east coast about half way up North Island). We were very lucky with the weather soaking up the sun in temperatures of 19 degrees whilst those we left behind in Wellington had a rather soggy time of it. We stayed in a lovely B&B in the Esk Valley residing in the Sauvignon Suite and spent our first morning lounging on the balcony before exploring northwards and doing a loop back on a track over the hills. Here are some of the views we had both on the Saturday and on our drive back yesterday.
The view from my room on Saturday morning
Some native bush
One of my favourite views of the day (shame about the exposure)
A shot from our afternoon rest stop
Some woolly jumpers
On our way up the ridge track
Down the other side
And a bit further
The magnolia tree
An interesting cloud formation
Footprints in the sand
One from the drive home

Glorious pictures my friend!
After a 2nd look at your pics I am really missing NZ, but really happy that you seem to be having a magic time out there.
On another note, Edinburgh has a new karaoke joint with 15,000 songs! We've yet to try it but a report will follow once we have.
Take care dude and stay well.
