Day 6 tapati festival

It's been a lifetime dream to actually come here, and by pure chance the tapati festival is on while I'm here

There's a stage set up at hange vare vare and everything starts around 9pm tonight, so today's going to be a relaxing day until tonight.
Just going for tea and I was able to pop into the hall to see everyone practicing for tonight.
Well it certainly lived up to my expectations, what a really good night, didn't end until gone 1am 😊
