Hot Pools, Haiku and Home!

The day started  with DH taking us to the parts place to sort out a small oil  leak in the car.  With that resolved,  we went to the Mt Maunganui Hot Pools.  They are lovely!  Chlorinated salt water warm pools right under the Mount.   PB had a lovely play and we had a very relaxing soak.
We packed up the camp and headed out to Katikati, where we stopped to have lunch and do the Haiku Walk.  This is a walking track around town (sort of behind the shops) along which there are a number of large boulders with haiku carved into them.  Unfortunately,  it was pouring down when we did the walk,  so we didn't muck around much and I'm sure we missed out a great chunk of it.
We carried on to the freedom camping place on Tuariko Road, which is lovely.
After dinner,  we had a little family disco (as you do when celebrating our last night on tour), then following the disco,  our four year old came out of the bathroom saying : "Ladies and gentlemen, a show is going to come on."  He followed this by dancing nude with two bright green plastic coat hangers.   It was spectacular.
Our last night of the trip.  Seems strange,  mixed emotions.   Sad it's over but looking forward to being home again.   PB summed it up when I asked him if it will be weird to be home, when he said "Yeah, but I like home. " xx
