Saturday, Mar 2nd, Whitianga, New Zealand

Greetings!

Leaving our idyllic B&B this morning, we said goodbye to Don and Deb Bloodworth (Okura River Estate), and headed for the Beachside Resort in Whitianga where we'll stay over the weekend. 

I told Don that I'm starting a travel contest on one of Google's community travel blogs for the best B&B view from the toilet seat.  Rules are the photo has to be taken from eye level, and no selphie sticks.  Here's my entry for Don's guest bathroom.

It's not hard to find a beautiful garden in New Zealand, but you should go out of your way to visit Rapaura Gardens.  Just outside of Thames, it's water features are really well done.  Would have been better if the water lilies had been in full bloom.  My only advice to the gardens is to mark the distance at the beginning of the walk up to the seven cascading waterfalls.  It's too long for the casual garden viewer, and you should know what you're in for when you choose it.
