hiya, trying to back track on my blog as slacked a bit while in Tauranga. Well hopefully my photos will show quite a bit. Mount Maunganui was so lovely. The buses out here are quite a bargain. There was some sort of surf, swim, canoe competition on the main beach so i had a bit of an oggle at the fit guys and sat right near the lifeguards... i was contemplating a struggle in the water so i could be rescued but thought i better not...ha ha!!! ;-)
Clo, i have included the i love whales T shirt piccy....ha ha... i was so tempted to buy it!
The coach ride to and from Tauranga was just under 4 hours and part of it went through a mountainous gorge called Karangahake Reserve. The scenery was so magical, to the side of the road as its snakes its way through was a river dashed with huge stones and pebbles. So green everywhere, palm trees spiking out here and there. There were wooden bridges and walkways, i should imagine to walk around there would be ace. It truly was brochure like, i was gonna try get some photos, but by time i struggled getting camera from depths of bag we'd cleared tthe gorge.
we also drove through the small town of Paeroa which is where the famous NZ drink Lemon & Paeroa comes from (of course manufactured by coca cola!!! who else) ha ha
anyway i'm gonna go now as its too hot to be stuck in an internet cafe!! gotta go chill out somewhere.
