Yesterday, after we were done working, my friend Keely and I drove to Hamilton to meet my other friend Kirill. The three of us then headed to a hot water beach in the little town of Kawhia. We picked up some fish and chips…first they forgot half our order, and second, it was disgusting!
We made it to the beach just in time. There was a family who had already found the hot spots in the sand, had dug out probably half a dozen holes, and were getting ready to leave. So we stole their holes and lounged in the hot springs for the evening. It was just like sitting in a hot tub…only smelled like sulfur. We ended up camping on the beach (up on level sand dunes). We built a fire, watched the sunset, and star gazed for most of the evening. It was by far one of the coolest things I’ve gotten to do in NZ, or ever. I’m SUCH a lucky girl!!
