Papamoa Beach in Tauranga

Well it has been a really relaxing day at the beach. We have had some really hot and sunny weather though when you first wake up it may be cloudy all you have to do is wait and the sun will come out.

We had a nice hike up Mount Maunganui only to have some spectacular scenery laid out in front of us.

Almost to the top, what a view.










They have some really great beaches along this stretch. It is not hard to see why this is such a summer destination in New Zealand.  they have trailers in the camp grounds like we do at home along the shore line and everyone comes and spends their summers.

Anyway we will be off to Rotatora tomorrow. A friend from BC happens to be here at the moment but we seem to be criss crossing paths at the moment.
