This morning also sat on the waters edge and watched a pair of oyster catchers looking for food, on the way back saw this group of bee hives. Bee hives are everywhere , mostly in out of the way sites. In fact there are almost 400,000 on the two islands.

Arrived Shelly beach campside, drove back up to coromandel perched on the top of the hill for a meal, saw these kids at an outdoor pool having a swimming lesson ... thought of you Pam , what a great setting!
