Angus Inn Hotel Hastings

... but what really made our stay memorable were the people. Bel, Jaime and their daughter Amelia just made our stay unforgettable and our incentive to move dwindle day by day. After the slight disappointment of the last place we’d stayed due to lame horses and not the most desirable of living conditions it was too god to be true! Luckily for us though it was true! We got flown around the place, swam, improved our tennis 'skills,’ rode some lovely horses and ...

... of course, climbing the glacier, which was amazing, even though Jen fell down some steps and smacked her head against a wall in spectacular style! It was still fun after that and the bruise was pretty impressive! From Franz Joseph, we went to Nelson and did a hike around part of the Abel Tasmen coast. This was also full of beautiful views and amazing scenery, but unfortunately, we have lost most of the photos including the ones of how we ...

... for a bit - kinda cloudy again today. then off we went to the cenntenial gardens. it is about a 5 minutes drive from our house and it is entirely man-made. it is beautiful and it has the most amazing waterfall at the back of the garden. we read about this weird hostel in town and seeing that is was across the road from the gardens, we just had to check it out! What was once a prison here in Napier and is now a backpackers. It also has a tour that you can do ...

... any police involved, probably because he has overstayed his visa. Otherwise I have discovered one of the farmer is a pervy man, taking photos of the girls ***** (the ones I was previously working with) on his mobile phone and owns a stack of dirty porn films. No wonder he's single! And I have taken up night running (jogging or a fast walk is probably a more accurate term) after my Christmas lights stopped working, got me thinking of home and my ...

... ago now I spent a few days exploring my local environment , had my hair cut, legs waxed, back sorted and then booked my self in for major dental work on the 1st April -seems appropriate!! (A huge filling fell out in Koh Samet -I'm blaming a Thai massage the last bit of which was a couple of sharp blows to the back of the head - it was the next day it fell put with no warning - damn and blast!!) Today is 28th March and I'm in downtown Napier in ...

... Napier was the newest city on the globe. Nowhere else can you see such a variety of buildings in the styles of the 1930s - Stripped Classical, Spanish Mission, and above all Art Deco, the style of the 20th Century. Napier's Art Deco is unique, with Maori motifs and the buildings of Louis Hay, admirer of the great Frank Lloyd Wright. Napier is enhanced by palms and the angular Norfolk Island pines and bounded by fertile fruit and grape growing plains, dramatic hills and ...

Vanmorgen zijn we door Tony en Stef naar de luchthaven van Christchurch gebracht. Daar aangenkomen leek het niet alsof we hier maar tweeeneenhalve week zijn geweest. Onze vlucht van Christchurch naar Napier vertrok om kwart over 12. Onze koffers waren veel te zwaar, we hadden 4 stukken handbagage (1 daarvan betrof mijn kleine tas, handtassen zijn toegestaan naast de gewone handbagage). Verder een tas met souvernirs, een tas met boeken voor Kevin en zijn ...

... ensuite, but our room did have a basin in it. The ensuite rooms we have been told are really nice, but a little bit more expensive, so we didn't take the added luxury this time. We will be back though! On Wednesday morning we had a walk down Marine Parade, which is a 2km long boulevard alongside the beach. Unfortunately the beach in Napier is shingly, and it's unsafe to swim in the waters due ...

From Wellington I caught the bus to Napier where I planned to spend a few days. Napier in in the Hawkes Bay region, which is known as the fruit basket of New Zealand. In contrast to the South Island, the landscape here is quite dry and the weather was consistently good. The city was detroyed by an earthquake in 1931 and was rebuilt in the style of the time - Art Deco. I enjoyed having a ...
