Paihia to Orongo Bay

Walked the low tide route round from Paihia to Opua. Trouble is it was high tide when we started. Eventually sat on our own little beach to let the tide drop, then continued. Some of the best track we've walked so far.
Lunch at Opua then caught the ferry across the harbour. Walked a few km to Orongo Bay campground, some road walking, some trails. The road sections are naff. Will try a bit of hitching tomorrow, we think.
Apparently, Kiwi wander through the campground at night, so might go on a kiwi hunt tonight.Read more
