We enjoyed a beautiful day in Tauranga. The town was buzzing as there was a half marathon on. We walked around the base of Mount Manganui and admired the beautiful view
We used the shuttle bus into town. Looked around the shops, enjoyed coffee at Cuba St then spent a few hours at Te Papa, a fabulous museum which happens to be free
We used a tender to go across to Akaroa. The town has French history and is stunning. We explored the lighthouse then looked around this charming town. Enjoyed a glass of local wine and drank in the spectacular views.
