After leaving Auckland we travelled south visiting friends in Whitianga.
Frances spent a day at “The Lost Springs” swimming and relaxing. An even
more natural spa can be enjoyed at a place called “Hot Water Beach” where
at low tide you can walk onto the beach, dig a hole in the sand and relax in
your own hot water spa. It’s the same hot water seeping up from far below
that provides The Lost Spring with its hot water.
We travelled to the City of Napier, world famous for having many examples
of Art Deco inspired architecture. For wine lovers the area of Hawkes Bay
is a world famous wine producing area. Of particular interest to us was the
winery of Te Mata, started years ago by someone from our own home town.
The town and heritage is still celebrated to this day by the naming of their
very best wine known as “Coleraine wine”.
