The weather forecast was for a 100 k gale, so we tucked ourselves in behind the shop, with our nose pointing into the wind and passed the night very well. Now it has quietened down a bit, we have come out of hiding, so we can see what's going on around us better. You can't see the shop, but it is behind us sheltering us from the worst of the weather.

Before the storm really got going, we went for a walk along to the end of the beach with Browning. He rather liked the stormy weather and watching the waves.

The picture doesn't really do the waves justice, but they were quite impressive. We had to lean into the wind as we walked down the beach and then got pushed back home. It was quite exhilarating. The blue sky didn't last much longer and we haven't seen the sun since.

We are no longer the only campers here. An English couple in a camper van, came into the camp last night. They are following the Lions rugby tour. Between games, they are traveling around to see as much of the North Island as they can.
