The Bay of Plenty is on the Pacific 4 hours east of Auckland.

About 100,000 pop. Very upscale area and the largest harbor

after Auckland. We ave done a lot of walks and bush hikes

since arriving last thur. Hiked up mt Maunganui 700'

Walked around its base 1 hour. Did some beaches. Did

the fish and chips thing. Monday we will venture up the Cormandel

peninsula for a few days.

here are a few images from the last few days.

It seems like something grabbed their attention at the right time. Nice shot. Was Gloria wearing a sweater made from their long lost cousin?
