Sunday stroll around Hatea Loop
What better way to spend a Sunday afternoon...strolling around the Hatea Loop with my family. This is actually the first time we have walked the track...I'm thinking it might become a regular thing for me and Master M during the week.

| Testing out my brand new walking shoes (only $10 - What a bargain!) |
 |
| Great way to start our stroll... |
 |
| First time we have seen Te Matau ā Pohe go up like this. Pretty cool! |
 |
| Checking out the boat that just went under the bridge |
 |
| And she's off! |
 |
| These signs are all throughout the track, in all different colours! |
 |
| A great place to stop and admire the entrance to our marina |

| Something different, yet very effective |

So there you have it...that was our Sunday stroll around Hatea Loop. I don't know why it's taken us (me) this long to actually do it. I absolutely loved it! It is such a great walk - completed in just under an hour. Already planning to go again this week with a friend and her baby.
If you ever visit New Zealand, come to Whangarei and check out the Hatea Loop for yourself.
