Orere Point

Hello! Took a train from Auckland to Papakura, and rode from Papakura to Orere Point. Only one big hill...at the end of the ride of course. Made it up and were happy to find a simple cabin in a down to earth, charming camp ground. This morning set off for a half an hour walk to Tapapakanga reserve and beach...turned out to be a 2 hour walk to the reserve, breathtakingly beautiful. Had lunch on the beach and walked along the beach and took a little nap in the sand...then met some lovely ladies. Kay was kind enough to give us a ride back to our cabin. Thank you Kay! This is a dial up connection out here in the boonies...so will not try to post any photos today. Tomorrow we set off on our bikes to Miranda Hot Springs and beyond!

    We have you on map now. This is so much fun. I can't wait to hear about the hot springs. You both must be deliriously happy.
    However, the hair stood up on the back of my neck when you said 5 hours to put the bikes back together. Knowing me, I probably would have given up and figured the universe was trying to tell me to rent a car. . Ok Tom just shoved me. . so bikes it is. We love you two. We'll check back tomorrow.
