Ohiwa beach

We had a lovely time in Ohiwa. It's a lovely beach and the camp was great too. Not so busy here, but plenty of kids about having fun on their bikes. There was a solar heated pool, but still not warm enough for us, so no swimming here either.

We didn't catch any fish, but not for want of trying. Eddie hooked up something large one day at Ohope, but it broke off. He thought it was a stingray, so probably just as well it got off. He went out in the kayak one day at Ohiwa and caught 2 under size snapper, so they went back to grow bigger for next time.

We spent a nice afternoon sitting in the sun, waiting for a fish to bite on our last day. Eddie fished and I read. Then it got cloudy and a bit of a cool wind, so we went home and had a nice cup of tea. We were very reluctant to come home, but needs must I guess.

It is raining today and a bit cooler today. Autumn is definitely here. The trees around us are being to change colour and the neighbours trees are looking very pretty.

This is a cool sign made out of drift wood at Ohiwa Beach. Probably the most photographed thing in Ohiwa. We saw lots of people posing beside it.

There is a walk that goes from Ohiwa to Bryan's Beach, which I did one day. There are the remains of 2 Pa up on the top, but,sadly, I never learnt the history of them.
