Hawke’s Bay

First rainy day, so we made the most of it by visiting three wineries, all were excellent and put us in good frame of mind. Rain cleared and we were able to get a great hike in at Te Mata Peak. Tonight’s motel sits among an apple orchard and they gave us permission to jump the fence and pick a few.🍎

Great Ocean Road Tour

It was an awesome tour for our last day in Melbourne. We had stunning views of a rocky coastline with very strong waves today. We then took a short walk in a rain forest. Afterwards, we were able to spot Koalas and Kangaroos in the wild. We met many wonderful people on the tour and our guide Chris was excellent. Everything about this trip went smoothly, it truly was a trip of a lifetime.

Melbourne- our last leg of this wonderful trip

It took us a little bit to get oriented as numerous transit modifications were in play, but we succeeded.😁👍. Walked around the Queen Victoria Market and then headed to Flinders Station where all the action was happening. It sits along the Yarra River with a park and walking trails along the river. Nancy and I are now members of the Williams Race Team so we could join the fan club activities. Also took a stroll along Hosier Lane which is famous for the street art.
