On Friday, since it was a public holiday here in New Zealand (Waitangi Day)...Manuel didn't have to work, so we went on a little hiking adventure on the other side of the bay in Eastbourne. We took the ferry over with some of our Swiss friends that live here in Wellington...
Leaving central Wellington behind...
Something you don't see everyday.... these crazies were at the dock waiting to take the ferry over to the city. The rugby sevens were in town and everyone was dressed up...it's some sort off crazy carnival.
The beach on the Eastbourne side of the Bay
Giant sunglasses? Check. Ready for hiking.
This could be my dream house...and dream car.. seriously. such a cute little seaside village!
walking along the coast to the park where the track begins..
THIS was the police station! so cute!
The beginning of our walk.
A view from one of the lookout points. Gosh it was a gorgeous day
Getting higher and higher up in the mountains..
Our reward after a good day's hike! Homemade mint chocolate chip ice cream!!
