A wet Waitangi weekend in the Hawkes Bay

6-9 February -  We spent a 4 day long weekend in the Hawkes Bay.  The main reason for going was a "Sprint the Bay" orienteering event - a series of six short sprint races in parks, streets and school grounds around the Bay.  Unfortunately it rained on and off all four days but the orienteering was still lots of fun.  There was one race each morning and another in the early evening so we had plenty of spare time to visit wineries, go geocaching, visit the new Museum and do some shopping in Napier.

Owen went for a bike ride with two friends along one of the many bike trails in the Hawkes Bay.  They were finding geocaches along the way too.

Only the sparrows were dining outdoors in the rain at this cafe in Napier

The finish area for one of the orienteering events.  The gazebos were appreciated  for shelter from the rain, not the sun!
