The Whangaroa Town Anchorage (Whangaroa Harbour, New Zealand)

March 13, 2013

The most interesting feature of the town of Whangaroa is St. Paul’s Mount, a mountain topped by a rocky peak.  We hear it’s a very nice hike up there, with a great view, but we only spent one night and didn’t have a chance to do it.

In the morning before we left, we were treated to something we’re not used to seeing in New Zealand: morning fog.  It reminded me of mornings in California. –Cyndi
