Our host gave us a lift to the car park at the start of the 45-minute walk to cathedral cove.
Although it was a long way down it was worth the trek.
A kindly gent offered to take our picture, rssulting in unexpected wet feet!
afterwards, we walked nack to the car park and then on another 30 minutes towards hahei beach
after a quick "swim" in which Alison did a somersalt in some strong surf, we had a cheese toastie lunch and then headed towards hot water beahc, where volcanic springs rise to the surface, resultiung in very hot water pools in the midst of cold sand!
Then we headed for Cook's beach, parking at the Pukangi reserve and walking along the beach searching for shells.
quite a god collectgion, which we left behind! Any ideas what the middle shell is? it;s flat and round with a number of radial segments .
then back to the B&B for a quick shower and change before walking down for a meal at the Luna cafe.
The centre 'shell' is not a shell at all but a starfish. probably still alive I would think. We call then Sandcakes but I do not know their proper scientific name, but as kids we would 'skim' them over the water and try to get further than anyone else. From Kay at Hahei Horizon B&B
