With Love, From Hawkes Bay

I love Hawkes Bay.
Staying with my friend's 'aiga at my lowest point in life became a turning point for me.
I came back twice after that to visit them.
The lockdown of the country certainly encouraged me to come back 3 more times

This would be my 3rd time staying at my favorite cottage on Endsleigh drive.
It is such an ideal home set-up.
I am happy to share it with my loved ones

I love the long boulevard by Napier beach,
​with palm trees lined up on both sides of the road.

I love the beach, it feels expansive
as an open ocean to the great beyond.
Right now, orange and yellow flowers bloom throughout the beach.
​
I love the Chantal store.
​It is like OmoteSanto of Hawkes Bay to me.

I love visiting my first Couchsurfing host at his place in Moteo.
He said I'd become part of the furnitures now.

It is officially spring right now.
So flowers are blooming everywhere you go.
​
​I loved exploring Havelock North in the summer
​and had enjoyed the golden view in autumn.
Coming here in Spring, it was simply a blessing to the eyes.
The light just glows amidst the blossom petals.
Blossoming trees everywhere...
And it's so calm and warm, unlike Wellington.

Can the capital city please move here?
