Whilst in Whitianga we got to go on the Driving Creek Railway which went all the way up in the hills and had a view over the Hauraki Gulf. Then we got to have dinner with DJ's friend Toby - Toby moved up north last year. Then the next day we went to Hot water beach. DJ and I had to dig a hole in the sand and we found hot water! A winters day and we were in the water at the beach! Nice and warm too, Mum, Nicola, Dad and Leicester all soaked their feet in the water. Dj and I laid in it. Mum said the water was about 40oC not bad for an air temp around 15oC.
The on the way home we stopped in Rotorua. J and DJ were suffering from the weather cahnge so just Dad went out for a mountain bike ride this time. And he managed to get back in one piece....depsite trying out the rough grades and going for a 'ride' over his handle bars.
We relaxed in the hot pools morning, noon and night before our drive back to wellington. What a great trip.
