January 3rd 2010

Woke up to a sunny day (30c). On the way to the farmers market , we stopped at a waterfall, just down the lane from Jennifers home.
Then stopped at Ocean Beach, just minutes away. This is a beautiful stretch of beach, which is practically deserted. We walked around the market, which had great coffee, fruit drinks and an assortment of home made goodies. Then headed back to Jennifers for lunch. After lunch, it was so hot we decided to go back to the waterfall and take a dip.
The place was now crowded, and Christopher was brave enough to jump off the bluff into the freezing water.
So was Michelle. Both of them are now ready to Bungy Jump! Not sure about Derek, who chickened out at the falls. The local kids were climbing the tallest trees and jumping off into the water. Quite entertaining to watch all this.
It turned out to be a really hot day, so we went back to Ocean Beach for a stroll and cool breezes. Tomorrow, we pack up and head north to Rotorua. This has been a lovely relaxing break from camping.
