3. Mount Maunganui Summit TrackMount Maunganui Mount Maunganui, or Mauao, commonly known by locals as The Mount, is an extinct volcanic cone at the end of a peninsula and the town of Mount Maunganui, by the eastern entrance to the Tauranga Harbour in New Zealand. It is considered very important and tapu by the local Māori iwi, featuring extensively in local mythology. It is also of significant historical value. The summit is 232 metres above sea level. In recent years there have been several fires on the mountain, in turn triggering a number of replanting efforts. Since Mount Maunganui has been open to the general public it has become a popular location for many activities including scenic walks, jogging and even hang gliding.

5. Mt Maunganui Main BeachMount Maunganui Mount Maunganui Māori pronunciation: [ˈmaʉŋaˌnʉi], locally is a major residential, commercial and industrial suburb of Tauranga, located on a peninsula to the north-east of Tauranga's city centre. It was an independent town from Tauranga until the completion of the Tauranga Harbour Bridge in 1988, which connects Mount Maunganui to Tauranga's central business district. Mount Maunganui is also the name of the large lava dome which was formed by the upwelling of rhyolite lava about two to three million years ago. It is officially known by its Māori name Mauao, but is colloquially known in New Zealand simply as The Mount. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

first time ice skating vlog (EP46)
first time ice skating for Mia and Halle! Which meant there were lots of first time ice skating fails... so much fun. Mr Munch went ice skating for the first time in forever too, he has only gone a handful of times but that was very long ago.
In this Munch Monday vlog we went to a pop up rink 'Ice Skate Tour' at the Okauia Hall, Matamata, New Zealand. It is an artificial ice rink. It looks like ice, has 97% same gliding capacity as natural ice and is 100% green! It’s slightly slower to skate on than ice machine it a bit easier for beginners as its not so slippery.
Ice is not very common around where we live and there is usually no ice skating rinks, so not many people around here know how to ice skate and many have never ice skated before. ____
