Ohope Beach

We have had lovely weather at Ohope, until today and it isn't looking good for the next day or 2, but at least we aren't at work.

We had a friend from Matamata, with her 2 girls, until today. We have been trying to catch fish, but no such luck as yet. Fingers crossed for the next time we try.

The camping ground we are in is the top 10 and is quite big and very busy with school holidays at the moment. Lots of kids, all having a good time on their scooters and bikes. There's a pool, but not heated so we haven't been in. The sea is cold too, so no swimming there either. The kids all like the pool. They were lined up at 8 the other morning waiting for the gate to open.

The manager came out when we arrived and said you won't fit in the space we have given you. So they found us another spot where we take up 3 sites. As it was their mistake we only have to pay for one. They were told how long we are when we booked. We are under trees and they had to do a bit of trimming so we could open the slide outs. Talk about a dramatic entrance! Eddie slid the hitch back a bit too, so it is easier to manouevre. It goes back with quite a bang, so that made heads turn too.

The school where our son, Tristan went too and the Playcenter where our daughter, Katrina went too are so different now. The old house we lived in has gone and a flash one built in it's place.
