Day One - Three

Our holiday in bullet point highlights :)



Day One: Wellington to Napier
  • Adrian gets news that his conference paper has been accepted for the conference in Texas in May! This is awesome news especially at the beginning of our holiday!
  • a drink surrounded by very sweary but strangely heartwarming locals at Bayview near Napier
  • fish and chips sitting on the grass at the campground
  • yum nachos in Greytown
  • had a drink in Napier town... in general so nice to be outside on a sunny, warm evening, in shorts and t-shirts and not be cold!

















    Day Two: Napier to Opotiki

    • pipi hunting at Hukuwai beach in Opotiki (Adrian learnt how to spot one, and I relearnt)
    • ham and homegrown veges for xmas lunch - potatoes, parsnips, carrots, beans, lettuce
    • wine and peanuts on the lounge chairs outside in the shade


















      Day Three: Opotiki
      • fishing from Opape
      • swimming in the Waioeka gorge - first time for Adrian and the first time in an estimated 10-15 years for me 
      • general lounging in sun


        Tomorrow is Opotiki to Whitianga. Will update soon!
