Time Out in Tongaporutu

Ok.  I think we might have found one super cool freedom camping spots that is going to take a lot of beating:
- close, but not too close to the main road to New Plymouth
- space, grassy, flat, right on the water
-  Kayaking, walks out to the Three Sisters and The Elephant
- Novelty factor of a jandal fence
What is not to love?
It also helped that we parked beside really lovely campers from New Plymouth who were friendly, great to chat with and happy to interact with a small boy.  Bless!
Tongaporutu, I sincerely hope we will meet again.
(Interesting fact about The Elephant rock formation... It used to look like an Elephant until (they think) the trunk became unstuck around the Kaikoura earthquake! ) :-(
