Kia Ora, from the BoTCom team, as we welcome back those delightful Daylight Saving days - and contemplate balmy summer evenings (Stop whingeing! They will happen).

If learning a new water sport from sailing to kite surfing is high on your wish list for this summer - a spot at the edge of Tauranga Harbour is the perfect place to start.  Elements Watersports based beside the harbour in Kulim Park is a centre with a strong track record. In Spotlight we profile this company that offers a big variety of courses and packages, along all the right equipment and instructors to get you sailing, paddling, windsurfing and more. Get along to their Open Day on Sunday 3rd October at Kulim Park for a ‘taster’ of what they have to offer.

And while Tauranga is well known for its dolphin watching, a local adventure tours company offers some offbeat experiences – including a kayak tour to watch stingrays feeding. Adventure Bay of Plenty also runs Kayak with the Seals tours at this time of year. See Spotlight for more details.

The latest Lonely Planet New Zealand guide book is out, showering praise on the Bay of Plenty.  The writers say Tauranga is an old workhorse “reborn as a show pony.” Mount Maunganui is rated as “an enclave unto itself, with great cafes and restaurants, hip bars and fab beaches.”  You will of course, find more detailed information right here in BoTCom, but if you must buy LP, we have a good tip to save you heaps. You can buy the Bay of Plenty chapter for a mere $5 Australian online at shop www.lonelyplanet.com

 타우랑가를 "an old workhorse “reborn as a show pony." 로 표현했다고 합니다. 

즉, 옛날 역마차를 끌던 말이었는데 이제는 화려한 서커스 무대에 오른 멋진 말이 되었다"는 것이겠죠!

Where to stay in the Western Bay? Awards are a pretty good guide and two well known Bay of Plenty companies are in the finals of the Tourism Industry Awards. They are Waihi Beach TOP 10 Holiday Resort,and Katikati Naturist Park. The winners will be unveiled on October 14.  

Waihi Beach TOP 10 Holiday Resort, 그리고  Katikati Naturist Park가 우리 지역에세 뉴질랜드 관광업소 파이널리스트에 들었다고 합니다. 와이히 톱10 홀리데이 파크는 최근 무선 인터넷까지 설치했고, 역대 여러번 최고상 수상 기록 중! 

카티카티 '네츄리스트 파크' 는 따로 소개하겠습니다. 

How many food stores can claim to ‘taste everything’ before they sell it? The new Gourmet Trader in Maunganui Road, downtown the Mount, does exactly that says owner Dave Todd. GT offers up some tempting Kiwi-made produce such as Pic’s ‘really good peanut butter which comes from Nelson, and Proper Had Cooked Crisps made with Marlborough sea salt- also from sunny Nelson.  There is a lot of farmer’s market type produce, says Dave, includingBase Camp venison from the Kaimais. We went snooping and also found a big range of Italian canned goods, juices and a wall full of spices. Green Bean ‘eco tableware, plates, forks, etc, all made from untreated bamboo, is a nice novelty line.
