Hi there.
All of last week, I was up north at Ohope Beach for a holiday. Not a sign of anyone wearing masks.
I swam in the sea. I went to the movies ("23 walks"). I went to cafes. I bought two paintings (an indulgence, oh dear...). I walked a lot. I had fun finding little kiwi statues hidden away in Whakatane township (4 km away from Ohope Beach). And I had a dozen fried oysters - yum, yum, yum - from the Ohiwa Oyster Farm.
above: Ohope Beach with White Island in background. With naked eye, I could see a huge plume of smoke coming from volcano. Scary.
above: some years ago I had a photo of me in front of 'kiwi wandering" notice in Ohope. Someone has since taken the 'k' off which now makes the sign 'iwi wandering' which I think is fantastic ("iwi" in Maori culture can mean tribe , or people, or nation.
see above: another little kiwi statue. This one on the
Whakatane foreshore.
