New Zealand Adventure

Woke up this morning and went for a walk, or should I say, climb through the caves. It was very dark and the ceiling was quite low at ties forcing us to really crouch down but the little sparkly lava worms were glowing like crazy so it was worth trapsing through the mud and listening to Amayah whine most of the time about how disgusting the mud was in between her feet and how she couldn’t’ see anything in the dark except for the glow worms (which was really the point of the exercise!) Anyway, after our little adventure in the caves, we set off again and drove all the way to Paihia – a beautiful little town in the Bay of Islands. The weather is terrific today and we enjoyed a swim in the river and a walk into town to the quaint little shops and then a swim at the beach. There were so many yachts, boats, kayak and islands everywhere. We checked into a powered site at Wangia, a couple of kms north of Paihia. The drive was really worth it (as everyone had told us) and we spent the afternoon relaxing and enjoying the most perfect weather in the Northland. Dinner outside by the river.Læs mere
