Report #35 Napier, New Zealand February 4, 2018 Sunday Mostly sunny & 70 degrees Sailaway Part #4 Of 4 59 Pictures
The finale…..
Five cool vintage cars
Local car owners in 1930’s dress
The fellows sure loves their vehicles, don’t they?
The band and singer, who played the clarinet well
Check out those furs
They entertained for an hour
The group greeted the folks coming back from tours
Is that a teddy bear in the back seat?
Keeping the tradition alive
Wonder if they come for every cruise ship?
At least extra security did not prevent them from being here
Off limits to people
Remember Lincoln Logs? Look the same, only bigger.
Are they done yet?
Singing with a megaphone
Talented group
1930’s look about it
Raccoon tails on the antenna
Cape Kidnappers on this bluff
Like the fellow’s Mickey Thompson shoes
Ready to depart
This is a Fiat
Away he goes
This is a Dodge
The teddy bear car is a Desoto
A lady driver, no less
The blue vehicle was an Austin
Last, but not least, a Ford
And away they go…..
Hope to see them again some day
Watchers from the Bluff Hill Domain
They will have a long watch, since we don’t leave until 11pm
Freighter still working
Breakwater of the commercial harbor
Calm waters
End of a lovely day
Top of the bluff…..killer views of Hawke’s Bay
Volcanic in nature
Commercial docks
Pilot boat
Flying herring gull
Upscale digs
Cannot be clearer than today
These mountains protect this bay area
Small fishing boat
Coming home for the day
Many layers of mountains
The most fertile valleys of Hawke’s Bay
The fruit basket of the North Island
Also wine country
Almost deserted pool deck
Bluff Hill of Ahuriri
Most of the shuttle buses were gone now
Silos of the harbor
Gull in flight
Hoping to see more gannets
But these guys will do
Silver gull
Flying in flocks here
