Some bits and pieces

Last Saturday, the camp manager, Leah organized a camp lunch. They had a kai cooker, which is like a hangi out of the ground. We had pork, chicken, chops and vegetables. We didn't realized it was for everyone and we had eaten our lunch by the time it was ready. So we had another lunch, just like a hobbit. A lovely afternoon talking to the other campers.

Eddie caught a gurnard yesterday out at the harbour entrance. He saw 3 orcas while he was out there. Of course he didn't have a camera with him, so unfortunately no photos of them.

We were very lucky with the bad weather that the rest of the country endured last week. It got cold and we had some rain, but nothing very much. We had a glorious day yesterday, but today it is cloudy and cool.

We haven't left the camp since last Tuesday when we went to Keri Keri to get the groceries and get my hair trimmed. We will go again tomorrow. May be subway for lunch.

The camp is quite busy at the moment because of the school holidays. Several people of our age doing what we are doing. It seems to be the thing at the moment.

Overlooking Matauri Bay

On our way to Keri Keri last week we went the tourist route and went past Matauri Bay where the Rainbow Warrior was sunk. We went down to have a look at the camping ground and may go there when we leave here on the 4th August.
