Saturday-Monday 3rd-5th February
This weekend we were invited up to Matapori, near Whangerai (pronounced Fongeri?!) by Paul and Leah to go camping on their plot of land where they are planning to build their holiday home/executive retreat. The camping was primitive and yet tinged with luxury. No running water; the toilet facilities were a "long drop" - a little hut over a very deep hole, but it did come with a toilet seat. The luxury was the power supply which ran the fridge freezer, the kettle and the electric fry pan! There was a sink and kitchen units in the middle of the field and perfectly placed so the view when washing up was stunning. Sadly we forgot our camera for the weekend - so no photos.
Saturday afternoon we went down to Sandy beach where there was a surf competition. Joe was a little startled by the stingray he saw in the shallows but still managed to jump his share of waves.
In the evenings we went over to some friends of Paul and Leah - Sandi and Vernon with their two children Jayde and Liam. They were extremely hospitable and not only laid on a bbq for us all but invited us to use their hot-tub and their shower!
