Report 9 March
By Steef
There was a lot of rain again this night, but we can happily store the tent dry. The sea has become wilder and due to the bad weather forecasts we consult “MET service” to see where the rain is going to fall. We want to go up along the east coast and according tot the wheather report we have to drive into the dry zone. The port near the campsite is very noisy. When we first came here I thought there was a thunderstorm in the distance. Now we know that huge tree trunks are loaded into the steel holds with the necessary thunder as a result. The roof tent is very comfortable but sleeping high also means that you are hear every sound much better. Our theory turns out to be correct, we are approaching the sun. The grass is incredibly green here and as we approach the coast we see the Hawke Bay appear in all its glory.

At 11 o’clock we find a dream spot at sea for a cup of coffee. Like everywhere there are huge trees here again. My shadow can be seen on one of the photos.

By 5 o’clock we find Waihay Bay Holiday Park a bit cluttered but cozy place.
The owner gives us a discount because she was allowed to take pictures of the Model T. We pitch the tent, see one of the native birds and take a walk to the beach.
