February 1st Over On The West Coast

Two days ago we were sitting looking at the ocean on the East Coast of New Zealand. Now we are back home and life is returning to normal, it was time to head to the West Coast to Raglan. The purpose being to deliver a belated birthday present, to our granddaughter Samara, who turned three whilst we were away from home.

Raglan isn't all seaside and surf. For a start there is Karioi Mountain - which on a clear day we can see from our front deck at home in Hamilton - approximately a 45 minute drive away

 There is a one way bridge heading back into town. You can guarantee that no matter which way you head, you will usually have a wait, the length of which is determined by the season. There is always something interesting to look at, especially from the passenger seat of a vehicle.
