hawaii: Photos of New Zealand - 03/12/14 07:30 PM

Photos of New Zealand.  My wife and I were hiking in the hill region of Gisborne New Zealand today.  After a morning surf and breakfast we decide to take a nature hike.  Our nature hike was located in a arboretum established over 100 years ago.  It was a sunny day and as we were walking through the trails as we ran into wild turkeys and sheep along the hill side. New Zealand offers natural beauty every direction you turn or drive. If you have a chance visit New Zealand you will be amazed. If you have questions about Maui real estate, give me a call.
