Arrival in Mount Maunganu

We went for a fish and chips lunch at the Wharf in Mount Maunganui. We drank "Lemon Pairoa" with our lunch. Lemon Pairoa is a soda made from the mineral water in the town of Pairoa, with lemon added.

Oh yum! They served us fish and chips -- a whole tray full per table so we could eat with our fingers. It was oh-so-tasty to those of us who like fish.
