No, not a cooking post!

We are in the middle of winter here (shortest day of the year is 21st of June, since we’re upside down and all that).  So when the forecast predicted a sunny day for the weekend, I seized the chance, jumped in my WRX, and headed somewhere fun.

I decided to drive East. Hawke’s Bay is usually the sunniest place in the North Island, and it didn’t disappoint!

Of course, it did take a while to get there. It may or may not have something to do with the tasty gravel roads one can travel to get there *cough*

Then again, the number of sealed backroads is surprisingly high, so it kind of alternates between gravel and non-gravel. Still, much fun was had, and I think I may need new brakes soon, I did give them a bit of a workout.

Pictures! I need a better solution to take pictures from the car…
