Tutukaka

This summer we have spent quite a lot of time lazing around not doing much. We did get our ourselves organised enough to travel up to Northland twice and stay at Tutukaka.

This is the second bach we stayed at in a kiwi sanctuary in the hills. It was extraordinarily peaceful at the bach. Unusually, the weather was windless and once or twice I stopped, asking for silence from my people, and listened for a distant sound of traffic. There was nothing!

This is the nearest beach, opposite Ngunguru school and facing the sandbar on the river mouth.
