Day 7





Waihi Beach to Ohope
Took it easy this morning and spent some time swimming in the lovely pool at the Waihi Beach Resort. The kids fed the eels that were swimming in the stream running through the campground. There were so many of them all sitting on top of each other- it was a bit freaky.
Drove on heading east towards the Bay of Plenty. Stopped off at Tauranga and Mount Maunganui for fish and chips and a fabulous coffee (at Providores Urban Food Store) and a cool playground.
Visited Kiwi 360 at a town called Te Puke (many laughs along the way at the funny town names). A kiwi farm and packing plant with lots of kiwi products to sample including kiwi wine and kiwi spirits (this is the fruit not the bird or the person).
Next stop our camp ground for the night at Ohope for dinner and bed.
