i like tauranga its got a good feel about the place but there is something missing i think it has to do with what i mentioned before that is sense of humor coming from the north east of england i miss the warmth of the north east hospitality .

Re: btits in tauranga

Pity we werent still there could have invited you down to our house on the beach for a few beers. Plus invited some very friendly and funny kiwis/South Africans and Scots. The kiwis we met were through hubbys work. Could you ask some of the people from your work round for a few beers???

We were very fortunate to build up a good circle of mates in the time we spend there.

It will happen, just takes a while.

Hi ex Geordie - we are in the process of moving to Tauranga - in fact hubby is already living/working there and I am back in the UK (sunny north yorks) trying to sort everything out (house, animals etc.) so that I can back out there and start our new life together.

Hubby is also an ex-Geordie (well Mackam really - Sunderland) and I am a Yorkshire lass so keep in touch.
