Tauranga, NZ

Tauranga is one of the fastest growing cities in New Zealand. Located on the east coast of the North Island. The main industry of the city is lumber. We saw truck after truck coming to the port full of lumber for export to China.

For today we joined few other people in a tour that promised to be very good. Unfortunately, sometimes the tour guide makes it not so good. That was the case today.
There was a lot of driving. We stopped at the volcanic area that resembles Yellowstone. We soaked our feet in a hot mineral water, then we drove to see waterfall, hiked a little and came back to the town. Boris went back on the ship and I walked in the town for 30min. Tried their ice cream and came back.Läs mer
