Week 1 - Day 4 - Another Rainy Day

We are having a lazy morning as it is very rainy.

Alan and Peter went to town to use a phone to book accommodation for next week. We will be on the east coast next. I found an interesting place to stay called the Carlton Thermal Retreat. Here we have our own personal thermal pool! Luckily the boys were successful booking the place.


I plan on staying home today as it is bucketing rain to try and work with the internet.

On our travels the past few days we saw many interesting trees. My favourite looks like a fern ontop of a tree trunk. It is quite beautiful.

















These fronds, before they open are the size of Alan's fist.









Another interesting place I forgot to mention is the black sand at Repuke Bay. The sand is black and it sparkles. It was quite interesting.

  1. Hey, during our trip last year, it rained 7 out of the 8 days we were there. Not fun, but we made the most of it. Enjoy!!!!! Jeff
