I spent a lot of time today sitting on a gorgeous beach near Auckland.

@sundogplanets Ok—for the really important questions…Are any of the pohutakawas still in flower?

@sundogplanets qapla'!

@sundogplanets Your Wairarapa listing is mislabeled - Marlborough is top of the South Island ;-)

[colinburgess@mastodon.nz]

@ErrolNZ @sundogplanets it’s actually Martinborough, an easy typo to be sure.

@sundogplanets Got my tickets for Auckland! When near Napier, I recommend Gannet Safaris. The Gannet colony at Cape Kidnappers is an amazing sight. Sadly, you just missed the spectacular Festival of Lights in New Plymouth.
