We decided to take a rest day. Alex & Dave are heading into Whangarei for a boat part and we decide to tag along. We get a chance to do a small shop at the supermarket and some McDonald’s for breakfast. We got back around lunchtime had a cuppa and walked down to Helena Bay. The walk was lovely, Toto & Kowhai ran and ran fetching sticks. We wore them out, once we got home the went fast asleep. In the estuary there are hundreds of eels. Apparently locals have been feeding them for years and some are 50 years old. It was a nice chill day Dave cooked a roast for dinner, we did apple pie for dessert. Feeling a bit more fresh.
