In Tauranga, you can check out the local gallery and eat at our fav Fish and Chips place.
It's a short drive over to Mount Maunganui, where you can take the short hike up to the top (45 min or so going up). You can also walk over the short sand bridge to what once was an island until it was connected by this sand bridge apparently.
There has been a lot of news lately regarding Tauranga. There was a major oil spill just last week. The following are pictures taken either that day, or before the spill of the container ship, Rena. Let's hope the wildlife and surrounding areas do not suffer too much damage.
