Cape Kidnappers, jus down from Napier, is the biggest Gannet colony in world accessible by land fro human habitation.. And the only way to get there is 9 km along a beach, squeezed between low and high tide by tractor, and then km back. Great fun, very rough and lots of gannet pictures. Was able to stand right next to the birds, and they didn't bat a beak at me.
Then off to Te Mata; a huge hill with stunning views across most of Hawkes Bay
The local chip shop provided the evening meal. I had garlic king prawns (and chips!), with a perfectly respectable salad. washed down with a local Hawke's Bay red. The place is crawling with vineyards.
I am falling around wih the kiwi sense of humour.
Card in a shop: "Old age is in the mind, The trip is to stop it seeping down into your body"
But we are still jet lagged, and need to sleep early!
Good news- got my phone working, so can post some pictures to the blog easily :-)
