Here it is; proof that we did indeed climb to the top of Mt Maunganui during our holiday in New Zealand.
Actually, 'climb' is a bit of an exageration, admittedly. There is a fantastic path all the way to the top, and although parts are steep it's easily do-able. Carl demonstrated this rather aptly by choosing to RUN all the way to the top. I plodded on at a stately walking speed. Oh, and before you think that's me in the photo above, it's actually my sister Christine (who hates her photo being taken) so you'll have to take my word that we look just as alike from the front as well!
It was a gorgeous day, and we were only 10 minutes into the walk when the boys stripped off their shirts and started running around in their singlets. Ahhh, winter in the Antipodes! Not a snow storm or treacherous stretch of black ice to be seen.....
Blue skies, even bluer seas....could there be more perfect winter weather??
So there you have it; two thumbs up for doing the summit walk up Mt Maunganui, and actually for everything we did on our holiday.
