We were going to stay with friends of Miss Robb's auntie in a town called Cambridge tonight. They emigrated from Aberdeen to New Zealand in September 2007. However we spent the day in a beautiful place called Mount Maunganui. It is possible to climb up the Mount or to walk around its base. We chose to do the latter and it was a lovely trail. The views are gorgeous.
Afterwards we relaxed in Mount Maunganui's hot salt water baths, which are fed by natural springs but designed like proper swimming baths. You can lie in the warm water looking up at the mountain and the blue sky. A wonderful experience.
It wasn't too far from there to Cambridge. Our Scottish friends gave us a quick tour of the town, including showing us where Anchor butter was first made. (Did you realise it comes from New Zealand?) We had a very nice evening together.
