Headed into Whakatane for morning tea at a cool cafe called The Beans. They were so lovely, the guy who runs it came out and said, "Excuse me, ma'am, happy mother's day!" and handed me a tulip! He went around giving flowers to all the mums, it was super sweet!
We walked down the road to the White Island Tour office so that DH could chat with the tour people to gauge the likelihood of his trip happening tomorrow (after 2 metre southerly swells stopped it happening today). They seemed quite confident of out going ahead in the morning, which will be exciting.
We took the bikes down to a cool dirt bmx track and had some fun on three different tracks. There were some other kids there, a nearly 4 year old called Logan, who was quite taken with DH. Sat beside him on the park bench and followed him around. His younger sibling was awesome on the balance bike, zooming down step tracks, no bother at all!
After the track, we went to Awateri hot springs. Wow! So nice! The temperature was 38.6 and the pool was lovely and big, with a shaded area at one end. It was cheap too! $7.50 for adults, as opposed to $48 at the Polynesian Pools in Rotorua, (which we didn't visit!)
Home for a play on the beach, a read, a play on the playground for PB, then early nights for all, since we need to get up early to drop DH to the boat to head out to the volcano! Woooo!
