Eastbourne

A few weeks ago we went hiking on the other side of the harbour. There is a small town there call Eastbourne. A bit fancy and swanky now with entry level houses at 500k. Regardless, we had a lovely time hiking in the hills behind the town and later went down for some ice cream. It was Good Friday so many of the shops were closed, but tons of people were down on the gravel beaches.

Going up the trail...

An odd plant that is just one leaf stem going from the ground

Looking out the Harbour back towards the city and out the harbour entrance

Looking across the harbour, more towards the Hutt Valley...

Turns out that the Harbour is about the same size as Crater Lake in Oregon

Nice shots, my favourite trail running track is just along from where you took the photo. I really enjoy the beech forest in the Eastbourne hills.
