During our visit to New Zealand, we saw some amazing sights. Some happened in the most ordinary places. This photo of New Zealand water was taken at a private residence in Tauranga. I kept thinking that if I had that view, I’d never move!

It’s been more than a hundred years since anyone actually was punished by being put in the pillory. In some cases, offenders had their heads shaved. These days, the town of Russell uses their pillory on the boardwalk as a great tourist attraction.

One of our interests while traveling to New Zealand was to learn more about the Maoris.

One of the coolest places we visited during our 2019 trip to New Zealand was a kiwi farm. It was a hot day in the valley where this farm is located, but under the shade of the kiwis, it was cool and pleasant.

Napier, the Art Deco capital of New Zealand Upon our arrival in Napier, we discovered that it was a very cool little town with a surprising past. The architecture is amazing, and it all came about because a natural disaster gave the town an opportunity to remake itself into something truly special. Unfortunately, the day […]

Last week I shared a photo in the post Our cruise on the MS Noordam seems so long ago showing the cruise ship from shore. This is what it was like pulling into the Bay of Islands at dawn. Our Russell shore excursion was scheduled to begin early, so the boat was buzzing with activity […]
