From Whangaparaoa to Whangamata we quietly idled along at a leisurely pace to our destination for the evening. Traveling with Phoebe we made a few little breaks and pit stops along the way. But only having one child to organise made it pretty easy and not at all stressful.
With my spirulina to keep me going, I made it ok and Mark and I had a great time together.

It's good to know that you had such a good break away. It's really is a beautiful part of the country with so much to see. A great photo-record too.
