Only 700 feet to the ground!

Auckland Tower

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”.
