| Opito Bay |
We had been trying to get to the Coromandel for a couple of years and finally, our time had come. We were headed for a housesit in Whangamata but had some free time beforehand so decided on a camping and fishing trip to Whitianga first. Unfortunately the weather had other ideas so we ended up staying in a cabin at the campground and taking a few trips to Opito Bay just to enjoy the beach. It was far too windy even to get the rods out.

We arrived at Whangamata refreshed and ready to hang out with Missy.
Her main hobby was to roll around on the floor asking for a tummy tickle.
We were always happy to oblige.
Surfcasting at nearby Onemana proved to be not only fruitful, but also impressed us with some beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Missy also enjoyed the 'catch of the day'.

Now you know how we like to harvest our own food where we can, well .... look what we found in the local supermarket! We had never made brawn before but we were happy enough to give it a go. And were quite pleased with the result.
We also found time to harvest the macadamia nuts we had collected at Whanarua Bay as well as squeeze a ton of oranges.
No matter how busy our days, we always make time to sit with Missy in the evenings.
