We have left Papamoa and spent 2 nights in Opotiki. Eddie launched his new drone and caught a kahawai with it. He has given up on big Bertha as it was quite cumbersome and took up more than it's fair share of room in the front locker. The drone fits under the table in it's box really nicely.
We are now at Maraenui, which is near the mouth of the Motu River. It is a really nice place and the people that run it are a lovely couple. They are away for a few days, so I am camp mother until their return on Friday.
The wifi is a bit off and on here. Today is quite a good day and I have been able to catch up with the mail and hopefully get this done before it goes off again.
Eddie spoke to the surgeon last Friday and has got a good report. None of the tissue they took has cancer in it, which was our biggest worry. He has to have blood tests every 6 months over the next 2 years to keep a check on it, otherwise life as normal .
We have had the brakes done last week and Eddie is wondering why he waited so long to have it done! He found the trip here so much easier.
We have had some lovely fish meals here. Our friend Peter has a kontiki, so with that the drone and going out in the kayak and a little blow up boat, that belongs to Peter's brother, (who is also here with his wife) we have been well provided for
Launching the kayak
As you can see the beach at Maraenui is very stony. Eddie and I went for a drive one day and almost got stuck in the stones. We had to use four wheel drive to get ourselves out.
We were set up very nice at this camp. The weather was beautiful the whole time we were there.
