Discovery 3

This can be just a solemn mark of respect.  We were in Tauranga today.  The ship was tied up in port  just a kilometre from the very pretty Mount Maunganui.  We took a minor bus tour from the entrance to the port and the tour was slightly different from usual.  The reason was just ~4 weeks before (22 Feb) a landslide had enveloped a camping area below the mountain and had killed 6 people.  As we were informed at the end of the tour.  Tremors are common in NZ and I somewhat remember a news report, but it was unexpected regardless.  No pic, but you can chase it up on the Net.
