So, yesterday we left Paihia. But not very far. We drove out to a forest can camped in the forest. It was really fun. We set up a tarp so that we had covering and that took us a while because we couldn't figure out the best way to do it..it's a HUGE tarp. But eventually we conquered the tarp. Then we started a fire, but for some reason wouldn't really get it going properly. Mitch made delicious grilled cheese sandwiches and we played cards until almost dark. We piled into the van and watched three episodes of heroes. We are so excited! We found a pirate website that we can access and watch the new episodes. Unfrotunately, for copyright reasons, cbs.com, nbc.com, fox.com, all of our favorite websites for viewing are all blocked. At the break of dawn we were awakened by a very rude and very loud rooster hanging out near our somehow still smoldering campfire. I coulda killed it...and had it for dinner.
Today we are in Keri Keri. I belive we will be making our way slowly northwards to hit Cape Reinga in the next couple days. And see where the two oceans meet! :) And there's a drive down the beach...on the actual beach...that can take you all the way down the west coast tip of the island. This is why we got a 4WD vehicle.:)
