Today we are in Tauranga again (it was like two weeks ago that we were here last). Well actually we are in Mt. Maunganui which is part of the same harbor. There is a Mosaic church affiliate here and Dana Evans from Mosaic spent some time here and had told us about it. Nice little beachside town (beautiful beach!) and this volcanic mount that frames the harbor opening. I woke again at 6:00 (hope this isn't a habit) and sat on the balcony as the sun rose.This actually makes waking early worth it, killer sunrises here. We took our time this a.m. had breakfast at the buffet (it is hard to get just a small amount of food here) and then took off to explore. There is a 
good, if not Very steep, traail to the top which has killer views and a nice breeze to cool you down which I very definetly needed. We also did the walk around the base of the mount which was wonderful too. Beautiful little beaches and rocky coastline all tree lined. We are getting spoiled with the beaches here. After a stroll thru town we headed back to the ship for some lunch and a restful afternoon ( 6:00 mornings and late dinners dictate this ). We just set sail again and it is time to start getting ready for dinner. Tomorrow we are at sea.
