"Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam,
Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home."
John Howard Payne
I'm back after an awesome weekend. I'm tired and struggling to stay awake long enough to finish this post. I have flown kites on no less than four different beaches, kite buggyied on two of them, camped two nights in my camper-van, and even went for a paddle in my kayak!
I have heaps of photos to post, especially of Wharariki Beach which is a kite buggyiers paradise. Tonight I'll post the first few and spread the rest out over the next couple of days...
Friday evening I arrived in Pakawau just before sunset. I set up camp under a pink sky at the Pakawau Beach Camp.
From driving to camping in 2 minutes flat.
Saturday morning this was the view of Pakawau beach from my campsite. Note the toi-toi flowers indicating the offshore breeze; note the best for kite buggying. Wharariki Beach is about 20 minutes drive, plus twenty minute walk from here. Why go all that way if theres a perfectly good beach at Pakawau? Because Wharariki is spectacular. Tune in tomorrow for pictures of this wild place, and a good kiting yarn. : )
must sleep now...
