Hawkes Bay and Wellington aka friends time

The first week of February we stayed in Hawkes Bay and in Wellington with dear friends.

Hawkes Bay: Clare & Kieran

• Nice BBQ at Clare's and Kieran's place

• Thanks Clare for being a great tour Guide!

1. She took us up the mountain to see the green (currently yellow - as it was very dry) hills

2. She showed us hidden waterfalls

3. She took us for a great wine tasting where we got a private tour behind the scenes (remember the funny voice you would get standing in the middle of the 'dome').

4. We had very nice tapas!

5. We had a great time with our friends - thank you!

Wellington: Marc & Jann

Marc & Jann have this lovely farm up in the mountains where we were allowed to stay a couple of days. Great, lovely people that we may call our friends now :)

• Survived the storm at their place

• Went collecting eggs from their chickens

• Had a soooo yummy lamb

• Helped with dividing the lambs

• Had a great BBQ with their family

• Marc took us up the mountain for a amazing view over Wellington

• They took us on a tiki tour through the area

• Had great breakfasts (pancakes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

• Spent some nice and cozy nights there with them just chatting.

Thank you so much!!! We love you :)

Wellington: Lois (Tammys mom)

We were very happy to meet Lois (Tammys mom).and spend the night at her place. She is a so lovely,caring and funny lady!!

Thank you for taking us on a private tour where we saw the nice coastline and the plane of Guns and Rose (we even saw one of the bandmembers in Wellington - do not ask us which one though).

Thank you for the great bacon and eggs!

Big kiss from us!

Nothing beats Wellington on a fine day. We fell in love with that great city (Windy Welly).
