Day 8

Whangamata to Katikati 65km

The road from Whangamata to Hahei was very picturesque. I stop at Whiritoa where there was a very nice beach, had lunch and watched some kids no older than eight or so having a surfing contest.

The state road out of Wahei was also very scenic but rather busy. I turned off S2 after Katikati and 3km down a side road was the nicest campground so far. The last two were quite crowded with vacationing Kiwis and this one, situated next to a lovely stream isnearly deserted and pleasantly shady. I think I'll stay here tomorrow and write in my notebook--the paper one which weighs about 99% less than the electronic one I sent home at Whitianga.
