Tawharanui

After dropping Buddy off to have his own holiday with Eve and Ron the dog-mad dog minders we drove down to Tawharanui. We set up our tent then went for a walk along the beach. It was a bit overcast but still lovely and warm . As you can see the girls had a great time playing in the sand, exploring the sea caves and paddling in the rock pools. In the afternoon we explored around the lagoon on the other side of the peninsula. Ali was entranced with the wee fishes we saw darting in the shallows. The beach on the lagoon side is all dark pebbles, quite different from the white sand of Ocean beach where we were camping. Lily found the rocks and pebbles a bit challenging so we took turns carrying her (it was past nap time) as we walked along the beach. After nachos for dinner and hunting all the mozzies in our tent to extinction it was time for sleep
