Mount Managanui

Thursday, 1st March 2007

I had booked a trip to sail out to view dolphins today. It was an enjoyable boat ride but, unfortunately, we weren't able to find any dolphins.

In the afternoon I walked up Mount Manganui. The city has some very nice surf beaches and some very exclusive properties.
