Day 364 Ohiwa Beach

Nostalgic visit to the beach where my husband's parents lived for over 20 years

Day 207 Aotearoa 'The Land of the Long White Cloud'

This is why New Zealand is called Aotearoa... 'The Land of the Long White Cloud'

And then there is 'White Island'
the locals say as long as it smoking, everything is fine, once it has stopped then worry!

Day 206 Last Day in Ohiwa

Today is the last day in Ohiwa, a small beach front community between Ohope and Opotiki. My 'in-laws' are moving to Papamoa Beach tomorrow. There are some wonderful views in Ohiwa.

 

Day 157 Wild Seas

We left Ohiwa today, it was wild, wet and windy!

Day 156 Wild Ohiwa Beach

My in-laws live down in Ohiwa Beach (known by the locals as Bryan's Beach) in the Bay of Plenty. The dunes on the foreshore have been planted by the locals to stop the erosion of the beach back to the road.
