We'd been to the Papamoa Flea Market, had a visit with Aunty Jan, headed home for a hearty (bacon, sausages, eggs, spaghetti, courgette, tomato, fresh garlic twist, juice and coffee) brunch and then we went for a wander round one of the walking tracks in Tauranga.


The route we usually take was closed, so we started where we would usually call halfway (and turn around and head back to the car) and went from there.



We saw these two with their remote-controlled model boat and stopped for a drink and a muesli bar and a bit of a chat and a watch:
