The Queen's B-Day... To Hawke's Bay!!

Hello!!! So sorry for taking so long to post anything. Things have been pretty busy here and we haven't had much of a moment to do much. However, the queen's b-day weekend we were able to make a little trip...

We went to Hawke's Bay... Hawke's Bay is part of the wine country of NZ, now we were not able to go on the wine tours (we were only there for the day and did not want to spend the night... we will soon enough) we snapped a few picks on the way there (it's only ~2hrs away). The drive is over the mountains from Palmy so there were some decent pics. Hawke's Bay normally gets the best weather in NZ, so we will have to give everyone some better pic's as the weather wasn't the best when we were there... nevertheless, it was quite awesome...




This is part of "downtown" Napier... one of the cities that make's up the Hawke's Bay region...



Downtown Napier once again... it was a pretty nice place...




Hawke's Bay from Napier... the beach is pebble.
Another pic of the pebbled beach of Napier.

Part of the drive from Palmy to Napier... we have to go over the Ruahine Moutain range... this is a pic of the Manawatu Gorge

We had an up-close look at some of the windmills just outside Palmy on top of the mountains...



When they do road construction they don't close the road, you just drive on a sort of gravel road, it's not the most fun to drive on....

Part of the drive to Napier... nice huh?


Part of Manawatu Gorge... I think we can get a bit better pic than this... more to come next time we visit the Gorge!!!
