Because I am as predictable as you'd expect, I spent the day kayaking and snorkelling in a marine reserve in Tīkapa Moana, the Hauraki Gulf.

Saw a ton of snapper, various other fishes which I probably need to learn to identify, sea urchins, tiny crabs and one beautiful and quite large stingray (probably a cownose stingray).

Hard to say who was most excited between the Little One, my partner and me.

Save the Hauraki Gulf, it really is a taonga.
