The Mount

Down in the Bay of Plenty seeing my ma for her birthday. Happy Birthday Ma! (she reads this blog…)… I had some meetings in the morning so disappeared to Mount Maunganui close to where I grew up. Had breakfast and the meetings on the beach… I used to think ‘the Mount’ sucked, but it ain’t so bad 😉 The island you can see in the distance is Tuhua (Mayor Island) where I went to school camp a few times. Amazing place.

Hanging with the Peppers, checking out Northland

My buddy Pepper and her awesome hubby Pete just got a piece of land up north (NZ). I went to check it out – the land is amazing. They have a classic  caravan on it at the moment and doing it up…really cool…

Then I hit up north to check out the beaches over the weekend and camped out.

And finally, while up north on the beach I saw Killer Whales and Santa on the same day! I didn’t manage to get a pic of the Orca, so you have to trust me on that, but I did get a pic of santa…
