WARO LAKE

The forecast was for rain and that is what we woke to this morning and when we set off to Hikurangi there was a light misty rain but luckily it stopped by the time we started our walk and we just had one short burst of rain.  There were nine of us today - the rain forecast had put some off.  WARNING - LOTS OF PHOTOS

Some flax flowers just opening




It is a lovely mown path


After walking around the lake we walked around the rocks



 and had some company - I also saw just one Canada Goose in the distance



some Valerian growing on the rocks
























It is a while since we have done this walk and it is always enjoyable.  We than headed to a very pleasant cafe in Hikurangi and were joined by another member of the group and his daughter.  He has been in hospital so it was good to see him and we hope it won't be too long before he can join us for the walks once again.

The walk is not as picturesque as the lovely English walks but was still very pleasant.

  1. I often think that parts of NZ remind me of Wales; some of those photos certainly do.

    1. Yes, and I gather we are in for a wetter summer so it should stay green.

  4. I love when you take us on your walks, Susan. They are always lovely and we get to see the very scenic land where you live.
