Well we arrived in Whitianga early yesterday afternoon after an uneventful drive up from Rotorua. This time we have an apartment and there is even a heated pool!! We had lunch and decided to chill out by the pool. Very nice.
Woke today and guess what, yes it was cloudy but undaunted we decide (with waterproof jackets in the backpack) to catch the ferry across the narrowest part of Mercury Bay and go walking. The crossing was very short reminding us of the Cremyll crossing in Plymouth but much shorter and in no time we were on the opposite side of the bay. First stop, coffee in the cafe there and then off on the walk but as we headed off the heavens opened once more. We sheltered under an overhanging tree which gave us some shelter but only for a short while and in the end sodden once more we decided that we should return to Whitianga and go to the museum. However, we were so wet we decided to return to base and get dry clothes and have lunch. We never did make the museum but later that afternoon we had a good walk along the side of the Pacific and explored the local town.
Well we’ve heard the weather forecast for tomorrow and it is rain overnight and sunny tomorrow so we will have another go at the walk.
