The continuing story of those delightful boys from Great Barrier Island and their ongoing holiday adventure…

We got up this morning, had breakfast, and did some washing at the camp (yay, clean clothes). Then we asked what time checkout was. “Oh anytime around midday, but have a soak in the pool first” was the reply. Dangerous move. Midday came and went, and we remained firmly ensconced in the deliciously comfortable thermal pools. Completely relaxed in my warm watery haven, I could barely lift a hand to signal to the receptionist that she might as well book us in for another night at the campsite.

Here at Waikite Valley they even have a licensed cafe, so I doubt I’ll be doing much cooking tonight.
