Next day, we set off on a mission to pick up a shed that she had bought on Trade Me. On the way, we offered to help wrangle some goats which had broken into the wrong paddock, which was fun! We offloaded the shed and went over to Clive to visit some dear friends of my Mum's.
Home again to chill out and then enjoy more of my friends warm hospitality.
Our final day in Napier was spent visiting again, this time a lovely lady in Havelock North, the mum of a great friend of ours in Auckland. She suggested a cool coffee place for morning tea, then took us over the road to a great new playground. Then we headed a wee way out of town to a place called Birdwood. It was a gift shop / cafe, with a great space out the back, with trees, sculptures, a fountain, geese and goldfish. It was a really lovely spot. There was also a tiny lolly shop and we had fun digging around and picking lots of yummy treats!
Dropped our marvellous host back to her home feeling very happy with our lovely morning.
Headed back to the caravan, and were treated to sausage rolls for lunch.
Packed down the caravan and DH managed to manouvre the caravan around to get it out and we headed off. Sad to say goodbye to our lovely friends and to head away from Napier it's been a lovely adventure.
Wairoa bound, with a VERY tired PB after all the fun he's been having! Checked out a few freedom camping spots, but in the end, felt happier in a campground.
I went for a run with a friendly bikie chatting along beside me (PB - once he got his second wind! ).
Enjoyed some amazingly good chicken noodle soup for tea, compliments of our Bay View hostess with the mostest, did the dishes (with super dishes man) and off for an early night to bed.
