Napier and Hawke's bay

Further down the coast we headed for hawkes bay area. We spend 3 nights at a campground just outside of Napier, in Eskdale. Hawkes bay is wine country so I was pretty happy to be there:)
The first couple days we checked out napier and did a couple mountain bike rides. We explored the local mountain bike park which had fun trails but not the prettiest area. Te Mata park on the other hand was awesome! This park has a bunch of hiking and biking trails and would definitely recommend! The mtb trails were pretty sweet! Some of our favourites so far this trip:)
We also got out for a hike out to Cape kidnappers, which was a 10ishkm beach walk each way. At the end of the trail is another gannet bird colony reserve so we saw a bunch more birds.
Finished each day off with some wine tasting of course.Read more
