What a beautiful place! I love the fourth photo...with the island and the freighter farther in the distance. I had to skip past the first two pictures because para-sailing of any sort gives my stomach the collywobbles. But that fourth photo...the waves, the sand, the stream of water going through the sand...all these things remind me of my home town in British Columbia...it doesn't have the wide scope of water because it is on the mainland, looking across to the Gulf Islands and Vancouver Island. When my brother and sister and I were young, we loved the wide, flat beach on the outgoing tide. A long way away from New Zealand, but some memorable similarities.

They look like they're bound to land in the bushes on that second photo! Not my kind of pastime. It looks a little warmer at the beach than our 2 degrees C.
