Camping!

Went to Te Muri Beach Campground, a beachside department of conservation site about 45 minutes outside of Auckland. Treated to the royal entry Katherine & family picked us up in their boat and scooted around the point in the below photo and we arrived at Te Muri Bay for a 3 day stay.

Had lots of fun with the boys, highlight was a morning cruise getting wet & wild behind the boat on the sea biscuit!

Hopped across to a place called Saddle island for a walk and caught a feed of mussels! Liam & Nathan proudly display tonights appetizers :)

The campground was set just off some hilly farmland, you can see the point you have to travel around or over to reach it. Jut off to the right is "Saddle Island" and tents are all along the flat before the beach... Great Campsite as a max number of 80 occupants means plenty of space for running around.

Sam & I on the last day during a walk up the beach to the estuary. Behind is the point. If you walk into this campsite you have to come when the tide is low or else risk loosing your stuff in the deep river.

Was great catching up with the Parkers and doing something different, really glad they invited us along for a relaxing mid week trip.
