From Taranaki to Ohiwa Beach

Hi, we are now at Ohiwa beach at a beachfront campsite in which we could easily spend the rest of our holidays ( which unfortunately it is not much), we will see how is the weather forecast fore the next days but I have to say that we are enjoying a lot the beach with Ella. Wouter is remaining his childhood and he spend the most of the time swimming and making sand castles, just as i told you, he spend yesterday almost two hours whit his fort but no worries you will see pictures if you do not believe me. It took us 5 days to arrive here from Ohakune, first we went to Napier where Wouter met a Catalan guy ( because Wouter was wearing his FCBarcelona T-shirt and the man came to him and said Força Barça, the team “frase” ). It is a nice city, with a lot of things for children like in the most of New Zealand towns. From there we wanted to drive to Lake Wekaramoana at Te Urewera. The next morning we drove to the lake and the main idea was to stay longer because there is plenty of things to do there but the wheater was not very nice. That’s why we decided to go back to the coast and drive towards East Cape. On our way we stop at Tologa bay, another incredible place with an inlet which we couldn’t cross because high tide. The campsite was settled just a few meters from the beach which was nice on one hand but on the other hand we were most of the night awake because of a massive storm and we were worried about the waves, but the next morning the sun was shining and dried very quick the tent . From there we went to Te Arora, the last town before the East Cape Lighthouse. We stopped there for lunch but the town was not really nice and we continued till Opotiki. It was a long drive day, and Ella was fed up to be seated in the car the whole day but when we arrived at the campsite fortunately they had a pool and Ella jumped in the pool without thinking but with clothes. A bit tired from so many days on the road the following morning we drove just 15 km to Ohiwa beach to relax, and here we are… and do not look for Wouter because while Ella is having a nap he is back into the sea.
