WHITIANGA, NEW ZEALAND
Are plan for the North Island is for as much sand and surf available. Here, in the appropriately named Cook Bay, as in James, where he moored shortly after discovering New Zealand, we head out to do a little sightseeing and some snorkeling. (Before Cook's discovery, the locals just called it Old Zealand)
Harley Davidson biker turned Captain, Daryl. He liked to talk. We liked to listen
Daryl tells the story of having aboard not long ago a Harley Davidson dealer from Ontario, Canada.
We were wondering where our neighbour has been.
"The land on the Sea-Coast is
high with steep cliffs, and back inland are very high mountains...the face of
the Country is of a hilly surface and appeares to be cloathed with wood and
Verdure"
Captain Cook's journal, 8th October 1769

Guess how they spell tyre, as in tyre repair in New Zealand?
