It was too early to check into my motel, so I spent some time at Pilot Bay wharf watching some of the ships entering and leaving Tauranga Port.
The weather was a little miserable, with rain for most of my journey. It began clearing later in the afternoon, though, with a promise of better weather for my stay.
I am very pleased with my motel unit - and nothing says Welcome quite like some complimentary chocolate!
Stay happy 😊
