Bay of Plenty, New Zealand: Days 92, 93, 94

January 15 - 17, 2016

Day 92: Tauranga 


Feeling good about myself after trekking all morning, I decided to check out the 'Bay of Plenty,' as my father made a comment about how he hadn't been there. The Bay of Plenty is a region in North/Central/Eastern New Zealand, but there is also, of course, an actual bay bearing the name. The drive into Tauranga in search of this bay proved disappointing. I ended up passing through an extremely industrialized area, which no one seeks out in this country. The Bay itself was nice enough, with a bike path leading to downtown, overlooking the city.
