Golden Bay





Te Ngararahuarau, the taniwha of Wainui Bay, was a horrible lizard-like creature who thought only about devouring men and snaring women. He captured and enslaved beautiful Ruru, but she was too clever for him, lulling him to sleep with powerful karakia and escaping from his cave. The people of Whakatu helped her set a trap, luring Te Ngararahuarau to their pa and setting him on fire. He fled, and at the top of Takaka Hill tried frantically to dig his way home, but was consumed by flames. His charred scales turned to stone, and were strewn around the hills.






One of the smallest green roof in the world!
































































Totaranui.















A bit of sport for Boris could not harm him! Julie though not to get wet this time around!


































By the way, thanks Joni for the kayak.



















Oops! That was close!




























































If anybody knows whose that knickers belong to, well, too bad, 'cause we don't care!













































Cape Farewell...


































... and its sheeps.






























It was a wonderful walk through the farmland and the beach.














































































































































































































































































That was great...
