Today we went out to see the places around Mt Maunganui and Tauranga.
First went to Tauranga port which is famous for exports unlike Auckland port which is for imports. Most of the exports are electronics, wood, cars and Kiwis (I mean fruits :) from New Zealand and to inner cities in New Zealand. We couldn’t stand there for long due to wet weather.
From there took a day trip and saw all the places around. What a beautiful city it is. Went to shopping mall and I did not notice even a bit of difference between Aussie malls and Kiwi malls. All the shops are same and people are same except you find some real New Zealanders around and a little bit of difference in accent. Jan I took your cook book in Bay field mall which costs $6.45 + 1,100 (for my trip :)))
We went to harbor bridge and to Tauranga town. Tauranga is a big town with 100 thousand people. Which is 22 kms from Mt Maunganui where we are staying. Went to bird Sanctuary Park and enjoyed watching different kind of birds.
Returned to Mt Maunganui at about 3:00 PM and wanted to go on top of the mountain. Vedu is bit reluctant to climb the mountain but after we climbed he is very happy to see the whole town and views. This mountain is bit taller than Mt loufty in Adelaide. Felt like I am in heaven for couple of min.
We went to beach after climbing down the mountain. Did not stay there for long because of the showers.
Went to Italian restauranto and had hot pizza and pasta for dinner.
Came to hotel and boys went and sat in hot bubble spa and myself ended up in front of computer to write my diary.
