Posted on March 8, 2026 by If It Was Today

Auckland Museum

Posted on March 7, 2026 by If It Was Today

Our hotel in Coromandel town had stunning views with a wonderful balcony, but one thing it didn’t have was air conditioning. It has been hot, so we had to sleep with the patio door wide open to cool down. As … Continue reading →

A Walk in The Park

Posted on February 5, 2023 by If It Was Today
