Our adventures to day to took us firstly to Hot Water Beach
which was about half an hour south of where we were overnight. Lovely beach
that you can dig a hole and get hot thermal water up between the low and high
tides. No hot water but Lizzy got another foot shot. Temperature cool and fresh today but sunny so far.
Next up and down and around lots of hills, past cattle farms,
sheep, cows, even chickens by the road and oh yer and a pheasant plus grape
vine areas. Slow as she goes in the big camper!!
Stopped for lunch at another beach at Whangamata where there
were surfers (wet suits of course)
On to our overnight stop at Omokoroa (don’t ask how to
pronounce this ??) We went for look see and took a walking track around the foreshore.
Great little track seemed like we were walking in people’s backyards.
Back to the park for a snack then into the Thermal pools
they have here. Temperature 32-36 deg. Quite hot. Powered by natural vents so
no chlorine or salt water in the pools. Nice way to chill out.
What we learnt today
Hot thermal pools are nice.
NZ are about to get rid of single use plastic bags soon as
well.
Food prices are similar to ours in Aust, though petrol is
crazy dear at $2.36 a litre for unleaded.
No slabs in NZ to park on, and have seen no caravans on the road
yet, just in van parks semi permanent.
Tsunami – Warnings near beach is If it is long and strong
get gone. Nearest hill !!!
Till tomorrow cheers.
