The Holiday

Hello, and welcome to my first posting in 2007. We have just returned from a very relaxing holiday during which we spent 10 days travelling around Hawkes Bay, Gisborne and the Bay of Plenty. For my overseas friends, these areas are all on the eastern side of the central North Island. We caught up with friends, and tasted wine from a number of the local wineries. We went to a few beaches, did some local shopping and coffees at the cafes, and thoroughly checked out the Hawkes Bay countryside and art deco architecture. The weather was pretty good, and on returning to Auckland we discovered that summer has finally arrived here as well. I will shortly be uploading some pics and video clips from our trip, so you can share our memories.
