Back in Hawkes Bay

Where has the time gone! We travelled back from the South Island on the ferry Friday to Wellington, then drove back to Colette and Nigel's house in Napier. We really enjoyed sleeping in a bed again after nearly 3 weeks in the camper van. From where I'm sitting this morning, through the morning mist I can see cows grazing on the hillside. Saturday we followed a trail, and had a view all over Hawkes Bay, it seems highly populated after the South Island, which it isn't. We are just used to so few people. Saturday evening we went to a quiz night with my sister's work colleagues, she works at Hastings Hospital, so needless to say some good fun, people here would definitely not be pc in the UK. Sunday today, and we have a leg of lamb for dinner kindly donated by Colette's neighbour, this is for letting him grave his animals on their land. Back to Amity tomorrow for our last couple of days.
