Tauranga is the busiest port on the North Island of New Zealand. Many container ships loading and unloading plus our ship and another cruise ship. All morning it was overcast with rain at times. But we took an excursion anyway.
We learned all about kiwi fruit.
It turns out that the green kiwis we are used to have an issue with some sort of disease. So now they are being replace with golden kiwis.
And when the weather cleared a bit I took a picture of Mount Maunganui, an old volcano.
In 2019 we spent more time at this port and walked to this mountain and part way around. No time today.
I did say this is a big port. Look at some of the equipment being unloaded.
