Today's Parkinson walk was from Reotahi to Little Munroe Bay and back. Rain had been forecast but it was a lovely day. There was an oil tanker being manoeuvred out and we stopped and "supervised"
Meanwhile down in the South Island there is major flooding with the Island cut in half due to road closures and in some places people will only be able to get out by helicopter until at least Friday.
That looks like a lovely walk to do. When we were at Mt Maunganui I used to sit and watch the ships coming in and leaving the port, and always found it exciting to see them.
Beautiful walk - and very different from what's available here at present. Just heard about the Whakaari eruption and pray that the figures for the dead and injured does not get any worse.
That is a beautiful place to walk, and quite a contrast to the flooding on South Island.
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely walk. Further to drive than our other walks. 33 kms. But we carpool
DeleteHow nice that everything looks so quiet. I admire your photos; very professional.

ReplyDeleteIt was fascinating to watch.

ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely walk John. Latest I have heard (about an hour ago) was one dead but they seem to think there will be more.
DeleteI have been reading about your floods and it they look terrible. It looks like you are enjoying good weather though.
ReplyDeleteNot only Floods now but an eruption - White Island. 13 dead the latest with more seriously injured.
DeleteI've seen the news about down south getting loads of rain, nothing here for us though, we had to order water in yesterday.
ReplyDeleteIt is all very isolated - after driving though the deluge on Saturday we had very little here in Tikipunga.
DeleteBeautiful photos again and a wonderful place to walk
