When in Rome...

...uh, New Zealand...you go to a cricket match 🏏! Jumped on our bikes, brought our chairs, hung out.
The T20 match (only 20 overs each rather than 50) - still 3.5 hours each, and we saw a double header - the women - White Ferns against South Africa, then the Black Caps vs India. More happening in a cricket match than baseball - there's a hit almost every bowl. Learned a few of the rules, but don't ask me for specifics 🤔. I think there were more Indians there cheering than Kiwis.

Not a bad way to spend the afternoon/evening, but we're not converts...Baca lagi

Great hike 20 minutes south of us. 360 views across the farmlands, back to the Mount, Tauranga city and port. Met a number of people on the way to the summit then had the plateau loop basically to ourselves. Kids back in school now so that makes a difference to the number of ppl around in this tourist area. Could see White Island still pluming in the distance. Lower part of the walk was through clear cut area..it had greened up but lots of stumps and brush. At least that helped the views!Baca lagi

Sunday bike ride 🚴 from our place into Tauranga. City is on a very large bay, and beside the huge Waikareao estuary - 9 km walk/bike path all around. Great boardwalks, info signs - lots of use.

Of course, had to refresh after that arduous effort... 😁

Then say goodnight to our beach...Baca lagi

Hiking
17 Februari 2020, New Zealand ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
Couple of great hikes in the area. Along the Waihou river to the blue springs...really blue! And to the Wairere Falls. The first quite flat, along the river, and beside farmland. Then rocky terrain and quite steep. Great infrastructure on both with boardwalks, stairways and good paths. Tho definitely some scrambling on the falls hike.Baca lagi

On the Road to Napier
21 Februari 2020, New Zealand ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
Road trip...4 1/2 hours south of the Mount. Heading to Napier for Art Deco Days. Kirsten joining us.

Sights along the way...big hedge action protecting all the kiwi fruits. Driving the thermal highway, with lots of venting steam plumes. Beautiful waterfall, seemingly out of nowhere. Get to the seaside town of Napier with crashing waves on the beach, waterfront walkway and art deco buildings. Gonna be fun days ahead.Baca lagi

Napier Art Deco Festival
22 Februari 2020, New Zealand ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
Fantastic annual event, originally to honour victims of the 1931 earthquake that destroyed Napier. The town was rebuilt to reflect that era, therefore...art deco buildings and art deco festival. Great vibe, as virtually everyone plays the part by dressing up at least a little. Many are totally into it. Live music in the streets and bandshell by the beach, classic car rally, soap box races, marching bands, air show, Gatsby picnic, dancing...you name it. Great people watching..fun time!Baca lagi

Taupo
24 Februari 2020, New Zealand ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C
Haven't checked in for a while. Guess that's what a holiday does to ya.

We stopped at Taupo on the way home from Napier - it's along the Thermal Highway so we saw more thermal vents steaming out of the ground. and a major geo-thermal power plant.

A good hike up from Huka Falls. Turns out we had visited Huka Falls 5 years ago when we were here too...well worth seeing again. And on our hike - we met Canadians...who we had a connection to! We had played squash with Mary's brother! It's a small world!!Baca lagi

Cave tour
5 Mac 2020, New Zealand ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C
Side trip to Waitomo Caves. Very cool trek down through these limestone caves. Glowworms are a big draw - didn't get pics of those worth sharing, but they're cool too. We walked through, but you can also take a boat or raft. Caves below ground are owned by the owner of the land above. So the Holland family is doing all right with cave tours 💰!

Also a good bush walk nearby. Good walks and great views always in abundance here.

Museum visit the next day. History of colonization, Maori-pakeha (white people) wars.Baca lagi
