The oceans meet
The crowds converge
The lighthouse inscription
How far away are you? The first distance on each sign is in nautical miles not 'ordinary' ones
(a nautical mile = 1.85 km and a mile = 1.61 km - approx)
Busy place
The start of the journey back to Kerikeri

ReplyDeleteAll those coaches - it gave David withdrawal symptoms!
Beautiful scenery, and wonderful pictures. I love the colours of the ocean. And well done with the signs as well.
ReplyDeleteOh it does stir a longing for summer and travelling and touristing... Here - still just ice and snow, snow and ice... ;)
That photo of the lighthouse makes me want to drop everything and travel there, just to see it in person. Nice shots!
ReplyDeleteOH! That water! Soooo beautiful. ;^) Thank you for the tour, Graham...almost like being there...almost.

(And, if I did the math correctly, I'm guessing that I'm about 8500 miles away...) Does that sound right?
