   • Thanks Carol. It’s hard to visit other countries for me as well. New Zealand is isolated but there are a few plus sides to being isolated.

4. What a romantic name. It suits the location

   • Thanks so much, it’s a beautiful beach. As a child our family used to come down to Whitianga every holiday season, and its wonderful for fishing, shell fish collecting, playing sand castles and swimming and going for walks.

     • You won’t find a lot of people at these beaches. Part of the wonderful reality of living in an isolated country. Quite often if you visit these beaches you are the only one there.

5. Well done! Nice post!

   • Thanks Elenka, in those days there weren’t many Europeans and the Maoris he met looked very frightening. However, the Maoris helped the Europeans survive and are very good people.
