Te Mata Peak
13 september 2017, Nieuw-Zeeland ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C
Nach Napier folgte Hastings. Dieses Mal eine kurze Fahrt von vielleicht 15 Minuten, die wir auch kurz unterbrochen haben um uns Maori Ruinen anzuschauen. Hastings an sich hatte auch nicht viel zu bieten, sogar unser Campingspot war gruselig. Eigentlich hatte der auch nichts mit Camping zu tun, haha. Wir haben nämlich mitten auf einem Cityparkplatz übernachtet, mitten im Zentrum. Also haben wir beschlossen, den "Te Mata Peak" zu laufen. Man konnte sich zwischen mehreren Trails entscheiden, wir nahmen einen, der laut Board 2,25 Stunden gehen sollte. Dieser führt über verschiedene Gipfelspitzen, von denen man Hawke's Bay sehen konnte. Außerdem konnten wir auch die Berge von dem berühmten Tongariro Nationalpark nahe Taupō sehen, bei denen noch Schnee auf den Spitzen lag. Auf und ab, zuerst über Steine bzw. fast schon Felsen, in denen Fossilien waren, vorbei an Abhängen etc. Das letzte Stück ging durch einen Wald. Über Stock und Stein sind wir mal wieder gestiefelt. Und haben den Trail unter 2 Stunden geschafft, trotz Verschnaufspausen. Wahrscheinlich sind diese vorgegebenen Zeitangaben an Senioren gerichtet, die noch ihren Wanderstock mit haben. Keine Ahnung, wir waren definitiv schneller und stolz. Allerdings müssen die Neuseeländer noch an ihrer Beschilderung feilen, ein Pfeil NACH einer Wegkreuzung statt davor bringt nicht so viel, haha. Uns hätte es wahrscheinlich nicht gewundert, wenn wir unterwegs einen verschollenen Wanderer gefunden hätten.Meer informatie

Pekapeka Wetlands
30 januari 2020, Nieuw-Zeeland ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
I woke up from the rain dropping on my car 😬

But I must say, the tape is definitely helping and I could not see any water coming in 💪🏼
Ok, it was not raining soo much but I am happy anyway.
The weather forecast ist not to bad either, it should stop around early lunchtime.

So I had a good breakfast, of coarse my new friend the cat was around again 😉🥰
Cut little one and so in love with everyone that spends some time with her.

I then drove into the town to buy some more tape, better I have some around when I need it!
I also need my shopping and then left Carterton to drive to Hastings.

As it was still raining I didn’t stop in the beginning.
And so I was actually already almost in Hastings when I stopped for the first time.
The Pekapeka Wetlands was a nice little stop beside the roads.
I took a short walk here and then went actually straight to Te Awanga where I will spend the night.
It got pretty hot during the day and it’s over 30 degrees now, so I was just not feeling for more adventures.
I found an old but nice little campground here and as the owner could not change my 50$ note I got it even cheaper than the normal price.
So I paid 10$ instead of 15$. Sometimes you need to be lucky 😉

I got a spot right beside the beach and spend the rest of the day planning the next days.
Here are living a lot of cats and dogs so I got a lot of animals around me to pet what I really enjoyed!
I miss Snoopy really much and I am happy when I can borrow some other dogs for a little while.

When I came back from dinner I saw this amazing sunset over the ocean, so I just left my stuff in the car and went to the beach.Meer informatie

Otane
26 januari 2015, Nieuw-Zeeland ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C
Jedeme na vylet mimo mesto, jupiii. Na mestecku Otane, co mame po ceste, je zajimave snad jen to, ze z - ve sve podstate - nezajimavych nebo dokonce uz davno neexistujicich veci dokaze udelat turistickou atrakci. A dokonce kvuli tomu vytisknout brozurku s mapkou upravenou v Malovani :-) - za drobnou dotaci k dostani v art deco ex-knihovne, stavajicim cafe, co ma kazdopadne svoje kouzlo.Meer informatie

Te Mata Track
26 september 2018, Nieuw-Zeeland ⋅ 🌬 14 °C
Der Te Mata Track ist perfekt fuer Familien, Mountainbiker oder auch Leute wie mich ,die es einfach moegen, kleine Tracks zu gehen. Vom Parkplatz aus hat man die Moeglichkeit, unterschiedliche Wege zu gehen. Letzendlich kann man sich wahrscheinlich den ganzen Tag dort aufhalten. Viele Locals gehen mit ihren Hunden hier spazieren, viele Jogger, einige Familien. Fuer die faulen Leute fuehrt eine Strasse zum Aussichtspunkt hinauf. Doch dafuer ist es viel zu schoen. Parkt weiter unten und erforscht die Strecken auf eigene Faust. Die Stelle mit dem Redforest hat was magisches, was man mit dem Auto nicht erforschen kann. Viel Spass!!Meer informatie

Te Mata Peak
9 maart 2016, Nieuw-Zeeland ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C
Te Mata Peak is at the western boundary of the wine-producing Heretaunga Plains and stands nearly 400 metres above sea level. From the summit of the peak you can enjoy panoramic views of the Ruahine, Kaweka and Maungaharuru Ranges and Cape Kidnappers.

The Te Mata hillscape has an amazing story to tell: Many centuries ago the people living in pa (fortified villages) on the Heretaunga Plains were under constant threat of war from the coastal tribes of Waimarama. At a gathering in Pakipaki (near Hastings), a wise old woman (kuia) suggested that the leader of the Waimarama tribes, a giant named Te Mata, could be made to fall in love with Hinerakau - the daughter of a Pakipaki chief - and turn his thoughts from war to peace. This mission was quickly accomplished, and Te Mata fell under the spell of the beautifully Hinerakau.

However the people of Heretaunga had not forgotten the past and wanted revenge. They demanded that Hinerakau make Te Mata prove his devotion by accomplishing seemingly impossible tasks. His last task was to bite through the hills between the coast and the plains, so that people could come and go with greater ease.

Te Mata died while eating his way through the hills. His half-accomplished work can be seen in what is known as The Gap or Pari Karangaranga (echoing cliffs) and his prostrate body forms Te Mata Peak.

What I can say is that the views are absolutely stunning. I drove up to the peak but there were several very sporty people who came up running, walking or by bike. 😥Meer informatie

Lara picked me up at 11 after having breakfast with Darran this morning. He and Bevan are so kind and I enjoy spending time with them.
So Lara and me went to the Te Mata Park, had a wonderful walk up there, a gorgeous view and a tasty coffee with brownie at a lovely café. In between, before and after a lot of girls talk. Of course. What else. It was wonderful. I notice that I use this word a lot. Anyway, now I am looking forward to another evening with Darran and Bevan before heading north tomorrowMeer informatie

Te Mata Peak

Den Zyklon Cook haben wir gut überstanden. Die Sonne lacht wieder und der Himmel ist blau, als wäre nichts gewesen. Nur einige umgestürzte Bäume erinnern noch an den Sturm.

Heute waren wir zuerst auf dem Te Mata Peak, einem 400 m hohen Aussichtspunkt mit 360° Panoramablick auf die Hawke Bay.Meer informatie

Te Mata Peak I
17 januari 2020, Nieuw-Zeeland ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
We went for a hike around Te Mata Park.
Local legend says the Peaks look like a Maori chief who died trying to win the hand of a local rival chief's daughter. Jake thinks they look like a dragon.
We also bumped into Bill and Jill who we met in Ohope Bay a few days before.Meer informatie
