Absolutely Beautiful

A fresh start this morning with a light frost on the ground. Thank goodness for good heating as that was turned on about 5am and stayed on till after breakfast which was bacon 🥓 and eggs 🥚. The Tour guide had compassion on me and cooked the food inside so that I didn't freeze outside.
Eventually we left for Tamahere where we parked up and off loaded the bikes. We retraced our ride that we had done with Linda and Roger a couple of years ago by cycling to the Hamilton Gardens and then returned.
The track construction is amazing in places with bridges and board walks. The Te Awa cycle trail is a real credit and asset for Hamilton!
It was lunchtime when we got back to went to a Korean shop and got a nice spicy meal. Even though we got a small regular size, we couldn't eat it all so got a doggy bag. Probably should just have shared one meal.
Leaving there we headed to Lake Ngaroto. The Travel guide has really surpassed herself on this site. We are right by the lake in brilliant sunshine and the vista is amazing. We are parked in a position where no one can block our view. 😊 The idea was to spend two nights here and walk around the lake tomorrow (7 kms). Now the Tour guide is changing her mind so who knows where will be tomorrow.
A great day has been had by us both.
