Get a card at the Library

It's easy an very useful to ask an acces card to the library of Tauranga !
There are lot of choice of books, movies, newspaper, music CD...
And that's free or cheap :-)

How to do ?
Just go to the library (91 Willow street -very close to the school-) and ask to the employee seat behind the desk front of the entry.
Don't forget your passport and have an adress in Tauranga (phone number is welcome) (Jocelyn can write a proof of your local adress). the fees are very attractives (cheap) :-)
And that's all ! few minutes after you can borrow your first book !!

About Tauranga

One of the most important city of New Zealand, Tauranga is a nice town of sea shore.

We take advantage of many service provided by government and private industries which found a population of most of one hundred and thirty thousand soul.
But the nature is very close of us too :-) and it's easy to go out of the city and in 5 minutes being either in the middle of the green forest or the smooth slopes of mountains.

First Attempt

Hello :-)

we are saturday and we are in the middle of th winter season. June was quite cold and end of july looks less cold but wetter !
Fortunatly here the weather change very quickly and contrarily to Europe (West Europe), here we can have a nice sunny afternoon after one entire morning of rain. :-)

Today will be more "cosy home with a DVD" than tramping (hiking) but as sunday must be sunny (according forecast) we planned to tramping all day in the Kamai range.
