Today we walked the Coastal Walkway in New Plymouth, New Zealand. There was a group of kite boarders playing in the waves. They can get some amazing height.

We took a hike on Mt Taranaki today. Amazing views and a beautiful day. The rock in the photo is quite large. If you look in the lower left corner you can see some grasses and maybe get a bit of an idea of the size of the rock. It was probably 8 to 10 feet in length.
