Life's a Beach



The weather was glorious for our two days r and r from our road trip so we spent it on the beach. We all swam in the sea, explored the rocks as the tide went out and built sand castles.







For the first time this holiday we stayed on a proper motor camp. The others have all been a mixture of cabins, vans and tents or sites in the middle of nowhere. It had mainly New Zealanders staying there and they all seemed to know each other. We had a good insight in to the life of a caravanner, they were all in bed by 9pm and Sam and I were quite the party animals sitting outside our van drinking wine until about 10:30! I don't think the Hawkridges will be joining the caravaning club just yet!







When our two days were up we headed towards the ferry terminal stopping for a Valentine's (remembered by us both halfway through our meal) dinner for four (!) at The Mussel Pot in Havelock, the Green Shelled Mussel capital of the World! Sam and I came to this restaurant 13 years ago and it was just as good as we remember!
