{ pleasant and simple bustrip }

wanganui riverWanganui River - There is a saying "From the mountain to the sea, I am the river and the river is me". This river seems very important to the Wanganui Maori people. And yes, this is a partial overview of Wanganui.

it is just longsimply maori
top left: staircases going up to The Durie Hill Tower, that offers fine views over Wanganui.

bottom: Tunnel after the Durie Hill Elevator, and we got to see some maori carvings along the other end of tunnel. The only earthbound elevator in New Zealand and one of only two in the world.

Later on we went to Kai Iwi, beach side with black sand, they are shinny black sand which I couldn't stop looking at them, but they were shinny and blinking too fast that made my camera couldn't capture any of them.

Last but not least, Virginia Lake, for the second visit. A must visit spot in Wanganui?

How could I forget about this? I can't believe that.
Look what they have did to the poor cow? Painted him in blue? No I was not brave enough put on the "thing" on them. no. I don't know why. May be they are to pityful? We have merry-go-around, but this machine that pushing them go around without merry music, fancy lights and just work for letting out the milk. Yeah, before Kai Iwi, we went to the farm. It was my mistake.
