Geocaching

Today I spent a few hours walking along a bike/ walking track looking for caches. 
Sunrise from our unit
This place had many bird boxes by the house and on rhe track
Beautiful countryside here
Love this big old oak tree, there was a cache around the back
I had rhe track to myself fir most if the tine and then along came this lady on the horse with her little dog trotting along beside
I went past big pohutukawa trees
Then I came out to the estuary,  over the water is Athenree
Off in the distance is Tauranga and it looked like it was raining all day there. 
Back at the motel we had lunch, then I went to look for one last cache
I finally found it on the third visit with help from the cache owner, little sneaky thing!
One last walk on the beach
This tree has been washed up and people have added bits of wood as a kind of sculpture
Oops that finger again!!
I have been doing some stitching  - secret at present
Tomorrow we head up to Auckland and stay overnight and Thursday we fly home. 
Happy stitching.
