The New Zealand Experience
Raglan, West Coast, North Island
We stayed with Zara, Laura's first ever rowing coach in Bedford, and took a lovely walk along the beach and got some great pictures. After a day here we headed back inland for our first attempt at skiing over the weekend.

They're a bit laid back here but so what. We're on holiday and chillin'. |
Raglan beach has black sand, as do most of the west coast beaches. |

Some riders appeared and it was too good an opportunity to miss. |

Forget the Sky Tower - THIS is
the place to go for breakfast. As they say here - AWESOME! |
