Mainly Mangonui


First thing this morning we wandered around the jetty at Totara North. Everything was very tranquil.


Next stop was Mangonui, another harbour nearby. Mangonui has just had a new boardwalk and jetties built.



Can't go past a good cafe. This was the Little Kitchen, in one of Mangonui's old buildings.

We decided to walk a track around the Rangikapiti Peninsula and up to the pa site.  We turned at the police station...


...and made our way around another arm of the harbour...


...to the start of the track.



The summit had amazing views up and down the coast.


The track went through shady native bush, also with good views.



More local humour.


We were feeling pretty hot so were happy to find this ice cream shop.


In the afternoon we drove to Awanui where we walked around the old graveyard at this church, established in the early 1800s.
