One of the more popular places in town - my daughter works here and gets paid better than I do.

Another example of beachside apartments, these ones though are in Paihia along the waterfront - you literally cross the road to get to the beach.

Just outside of Orewa, which is just north of Auckland (when we holidayed there last November) we drove to a nearby town of Manly. Back in the days when my grandparents lived in Orewa they use to drive through here on the way to my nana's doctor which was here but further up the road. It's changed alot over the years.

I haven't visited this town in a few years but it's still a favourite place. Warkworth is about maybe an hour north of Auckland. The water i nthe scene is the Mahurangi River and flows out through the harbour to the Hauraki Gulf.

Always good to catch up with friends for a good natter but not as long as the footpath is not blocked.

I spotted this Elephant sculpture in Khyber Pass in Auckland City last year which was outside a Thai restaurant (my favourite food btw) but apparently since we were there last it has closed and a private buyer bought it to put in his garden.

When we travel through cities I like to take photos of some of the old buildings - there's huge amounts of colonial history. This one in Parnell in Auckland is the home of the Royal New Zealand Foundation of the Blind and was designed by architect Edward Bartley then opened in 1909.

Apartments in Mount Maunganui. |
One of the examples of apartments when we use to live in this town - you basically can't buy any property near the beach for less than $1 million NZD now. There's a cafe on the ground level which makes a really nice eggs benedict.

Greymouth this week - we have blue skies on and off. |
And daylight saving starts this weekend. We've noticed mornings getting lighter and nights staying light for a bit longer.

I was going through some of my old photos from when we lived in Kerikeri. When we first moved there in 2018 we stopped in Paihia to look around and on the footpath just before town were these flags that someone had painted. There were many more countries flags but these were the ones I took photos of. I'm not sure why they were there, maybe to show that New Zealand is multi-cultural? Who knows?

I can't remember what road this was down in Ponsonby while we were in Auckland, might've been Pitt Street on the outer edge but while we were walking to our car I spotted the love heart on the outside of the building in the left of the photo. I got me thinking, why would a heart be displayed on a commercial building? Perhaps it's a brothel?
