Free camping spot in Napier

A beautiful beach view parking area where self contained vehicles are allowed to camp. One of the reasons why we chose this one is because the i-site close by offer $1 showers and after 2 days of no showers, it was much needed.

Little did we know that the showers close at 4:45pm. We only arrived at 5:30pm so we were kinda forced to make use of our shower in the van.

We grabbed our trainers and went for a short run to explore, we found a free gym park and did 3 circuits before walking back to the camper for a shower.

Isabel had a shower and by the time I got in, the campers water supply ran out. It was my own fault as I passed up on two opportunities to fill up earlier today. Oh well the only other logical option was a quick dip in the ocean. Interesting experience to brave the cold water and a specially on a black beach where you can't see what's in the water with you. I will always remember this swim, more than what I can say for most swims in the ocean.

Ek het vir Roedolf bitter jammer gekry, sy reaksie was skreeusnaaks, maar om in die yskoue see te swem was geensins 'n opsie vir enige verstandige mens nie. In elk geval hardkoppige mense moet maar op die harde manier leer. Ons was by die waterfill stasie (nit once but twice) toe besluit hy, hy is te lui om dit te doen en dit is net 'n 10minute exercise. Ek het voor ons draf ook n herhaaldelik voorgestel om die tenk net gou vol te maak, maar nee pappie. Ek het skoon gekom maar dit was nie juis 5ster toe die water opraak nie. Vet pret veral vir party van ons. #primitief
