Moving from a rural area to the fifth biggest
city in New Zealand has been an immense positive change. The Bay Of Plenty is such a relaxed fast
paced modern city and I have experienced the warmest of welcomes from the
weather and locals.
Summer fest was a superb example of Bay of
Plenty’s finest and many local talents came to entertain the crowds throughout
the day, not to mention I AM GIANT, J WILLIAMS and TITANIUM who finished the
evening off beautifully. A great array
of activities and shopping were available, one of my personal favorites was a
great new fashion label ‘One Offs’ and
as the name implies all clothing is individual and unique, no-one else has
anything that is the same. A kooky and
stylish collect of tie-die garments and some funky ‘towel shorts’ were limited. Make
sure you refurbish your beach wardrobe here-
The
leisurely aspect within Tauranga and Mount Maunganui is constant. I've found myself enjoying the many walking
and riding tracks for my periodic work outs, who wouldn't enjoying a run around
the bay as the sun sets in the horizon, pure bliss. A day in the supple sand and gleaming sun
cannot be turned down, then to finish the day of a cool refreshing dip in the
sea’s torment. A sense of balance
between work, play and study is defiantly observed here and I find myself
slotting into this perfectly.
A
month has shot past like a flash, study, assignments, social gatherings, life
experiences, concerts and memories have passed and continue to come, an array
of excitement and adrenaline is still left to explore within my new beginnings.
Till next time >>
