• Harbour view from, strangely enough, the "Harbour View Motel" in Tauranga
  


• Jennifer would like these, wall sockets in New Zealand have a on/off switch for each circuit
  


• Here's the Pacific Ocean from down under
  


• Mt. Maunganui is an extinct volcano (hopefully)
  


• Lake Taupo drains through the Huka Falls
  


• Lake Taupo during the day, kinda of reminds me of Lake Tahoe. I went on a one hour horseback ride nearby
  


• And of course, sunset
  


• This critter might make a nice dinner
  


• I went wine tasting a few places in the Hastings area, from the Te Awa winery
