Waimahanga Walkway

The High Jump

Today we went for a short walk on this walkway through the mangroves - over two bridges and then back again - took us 1 1/2 hrs altogether from start to finish including tea breaks and photo stops. Then off to the Warehouse to get Alex some shorts and trousers, some sunscreen and then to Warehouse Stationery for a large envelope to post something very uninteresting to Sophie. Don't tell her its a secret. Robyn

don't forget that there is a video to watch on this page, look left.
