We planned to get moving fairly early, but the rain came and demotivated us. Really we could have left yesterday, but the weather forecast was horrid. It turned out okay, which was rather annoying. Anyway it gave me heaps of time to make the beds and clean up properly after ourselves. We got on the bikes and got back off them. Ahh a hill to Gulf Harbour! Once we slogged up that it was easy breezy. I tell you what, my legs are asking what the heck I am doing?! Obviously our time off has made them think that my crazy days of cycling are over. Well I have news for you cupcake.

We got to the ferry terminal and got our tickets. Nana & GPA came down to see us off. Annoyingly the ferry isn’t running and we have to jump on a bus. Very lame, I was looking forward to the trip.

We made it to the downtown ferry terminal and waited for the next boat to Pine Harbour. This time was broken up by a random evacuation test, which we had to comply with. The weather really fined up and made the journey really nice.

Once we arrived, we had a short bike ride to my dads house in Beachlands. Dad looks good and we had a good few hours catching up. We also had a chance to grab a few things and leave a few things. NANA, you will be pleased. I left behind my wholly merino jarmie tip and replaced it with a good one. We also picked up a go pro thingy so maybe I can experiment with some vloging.

We said goodbye to Dad and headed to the Mitre10 for some gas for our cooker and then to the supermarket for a few supplies. Then cycled out to Ōmana Regional Park which allows camping if you book it online and pay. $16pp.

A cold shower and eating as fast as we can before the sun sets. We need to get used to eating early again.
