We spent my birthday last year in a little place near Whitianga, and went to a fabulous restaurant in Whiti for dinner – Salt. This year I spent it in Canberra doing very sad things. Your pictures bring back a very happy holiday.
Jo, you have been through some sad times and I am really pleased the post brought back happy memories for you. I think we will need to draw on many good memories and a damned good sense of humour to get us through the next year.
I just got back from walking around the sports stadium field, around and around I went with no issue at all with social interaction. Utterly boring though did the trick at clocking up a few kms 🙂
Not sure I could walk so far with no music. Though I am always aware what and who is around me. Years of travelling has well tuned my gut instinct for danger. Well, I hope it is still working well 🙂
I gasped in delight as I view every picture. Absolutely breathtaking. Lovely to look at as I distance myself from the constant news. Thanks Suzanne. Beautiful post
I took Twitter off, as I wanted to reduce how much Socisl Media I was using. To be honest I never used it often or kept up to date with the screeds of information. In the end I found it tedious and annoying to use. I would rather spend my blogging time reading and commenting on blogs.
Lovely pictures! They are making this American re-think our choice to only visit the South Island last year. We’ll have to return to visit the North sometime in the future. Thanks for sharing!
It is a stunning place and it’s alright Donna you don’t have to choose a favourite. It is grand to have numerous photographs to remind us of trips away. I am sure you would have many too.
Life at No. 22 
Spectacular photos telling a beautiful story! Thanks for the smiles x

Yes, it would be if you owned a bach in that area. We are quite content to say at home with our view of the harbour 🙂

That sounds like a good alternative! Enjoy the scenery and the solitude! Just back from the supermarket with security men on the door! Madness!

Time to plug into some music. I never walk listening to music, but at times like these I can see the attraction…

It was and the Coromandel is a favourite place to visit. Though the only downfall it’s a favourite for many in summer. Off season is more rewarding.
