Bush Walks

We did a number of great walks while in NZ too. In Wellington we made the most of the Tinakori Hill walks right at Jane's mum's doorstep. We also went up Mt Kaukau, the highest point overlooking Wellington harbour giving magnificant views over Wellington, the Hutt Valley and the coast. 

While in Napier we went with friends on a great coastal walk from Waipatiki Beach to Aropaoanui Beach. We ended the walk with a sea swim (not that cold - truly) and a picnic. Perfect. 

Further north while waiting for a cracked car windscreen to be replaced in Whakatane, we did two really lovely walks between Ohope Beach and Whakatane. Lots of tui's singing, fantails flittering and the start of the pohutukawa flowering.
