Couple of photos from the flight
from Auckland down to Napier. Left is of Lake Rotorua (went there
last time!) and the right photo is of Lake Waikaremoana. This
was my first view of my next walk.
My dad used to farm 200 sheep (amongst
other things) so seeing this building made me smile. Only in
NZ do you get adverts for sheep dip on prime time TV!
Left = black swan. Right = photo
of white fronted terns - these are not at all rare!
Left = zoomed version of the above.
Right is the result of me getting too close!
Wide-angle view of the Mahia Peninsula.
On the Mahia Peninsula - two photos
of flowers! Actually, the right hand one is, I think, of the
Southern Rata - looks something like a moderate sized tree but
with loads of flowers tagged on!
Left = Leaving the peninsula was
a slow job as I hit the rush hour!
Right = beach near Opoutama
Only view of Gisborne - though it
was quite a nice town. This was the furthest east I got - within
2 degrees of longitude of the dateline.
