This week, we have benn transporting 18 American university students & their 2 teachers on a Culture, Environment,Ecosystems & Service Tour for Innovative Education, Tauranga. The students have been looking at how human culture has affected ecosystems. Trakkie Tunnels & inkpads have been placed in estuaries to ascertain which predators need to be dealt with. Samples of water & small animals have been collected at different areas such as McLarens Falls, the Wairoa River & Kulim Park to see the different stages of a water catchment. Flax & native trees have been potted & planted. A powhiri, korero & kai at Huria Marae were enjoyed this morning. The group move to Rotorua on Sunday & fly to Wellington a few days later before returning home. Paul has thoroughly enjoyed the group's company.

Our Doozy of a Day trip went really well last Thursday. The Mandarin Tree Gallery is always special & we followed it up with great service & goodies for morning tea at MatteBlack Café & Catering Co. On a arrival in Te Kauwhata we had the treat of a factory tour & tasting at Peplers. Wow! What an amazing array of products. This place is well-worth a visit or you can buy their fantastic range of products on line. Who wouldn't love such delights as Orange & Date Vinaigrette? After this venue, we enjoyed lunch at The Lakeside Cafe. We had intended to go to Pat's Shed but because of a family bereavement they had to cancel just before our trip. So we went to chocolate Works in Horotiu, a chocoholic's dream. We had intended to go to Providore en route for Tauranga. but the over-indulgence in chocolate had taken a little longer than intended, so we decided to head for home. The sugar-rush from the final visit made it a very convivial return trip. We have been asked to repeat this trip close to Christmas so that people can buy presents.

A great day with eleven people on our Flavours of Plenty Festival Local Tasting Tour yesterday.
White House Restaurant Te Puna provided their usual tasty cuisine & excellent NZ wines for the tasting experience, The Rising Tide had paddles waiting on arrival for tastings of their excellent gin, beer or cider & the desserts & cocktails , mocktails or coffee (of client's choice) at Salinity were enjoyed, overlooking the marina. The addition of WEBSTER'S TEA was a real plus, with tastings of their special blends really appreciated.
