This elderly gentleman in his mobility scooter couldn't have walked the bridge because there were many steps and the road leading to the bridge was muddy. He was a fund raiser.
All the workers volunteered their Sunday off and became PR persons to the visitors. This guy was on clutches. Kuddos to him.
I was attracted to his facial hair.
Aucklanders love their dogs. Every where you go, you are bound to see them with their dogs.
The Maoris were the first people to arrive in New Zealand. This is their craft. It is the head of a statue in the Mangere bridge township.
On the beaches, we have a lot of mangrove which is very important to our ecology. Some parts are protected beaches.
Parks, parks, lots of parks.
Beaches. beaches and more beaches. We are an isthmus and are almost surrounded by sea.

Very pretty and interesting. Love to see all the waterways and lakes. It is really a beautiful country. I also enjoyed the Maori culture and language. We really enjoyed Davenport it is such a pretty place and we had a fabulous breakfast and lunch there there. This is a great post about your country.
