A Visit to Raglan

We decided to head to Raglan today, a small beachside town on Raglan Harbour about 50 km west of Hamilton. It's a quaint little town and seems very popular with the backpackers and people who like to surf (are they still called surfies, as we called them in the 60s?) On the road to Raglan, we took a detour to see the Bridal Veil Falls. Quite spectacular, about a 55 metre drop.

                                             

Raglan also has a converted silo on the wharf which is now holiday apartments, certainly a different place to stay.

                          

The Raglan Harbour was quite pretty with quite a few people fishing from the wharf. We had a nice lunch there and of course we had seafood!

  1. That is definitely a spectacular waterfall, and I'd rather like to stay in an old silo :-)

  2. Janice, I could stand a long time to listen to and observe a water fall. Thanks for this picture. I can almost here it run. Lovely spot for fishing, I'd say.
