Lynda and Fred Travels
Well today we leave Auckland and head to bay of islands. So looking forward to having our heads on one bed for 6 nights. Also really looking forward to meeting up with good friends from Sydney, cush and pete! We took the east coast road avoiding freeways..it was very pretty. The brochure said Tutukaka coast was rated as one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world with beautiful beaches, cafes and restaurants...so that was our lunch spot. It was a beautiful drive with lots of lush green hills and countryside and lots of great ocean beaches around every corner. But when we got to Tutukaka and looked for the beach it was no where to be found...so we settled for a quaint timber shack restaurant in the boat harbour! I guess it's about the coast, not Tutukaka! We got to our time share late afternoon, got settled and bought a few groceries....the bay is huge and beautiful. Pete and cush arrived about 7 and we had a few drinks at home before going to an Indian/Thai restaurant which was excellent! Cush's sister was with them and we met her 6 years ago so was nice to see her again! It was so unreal that our paths crossed this very day and we had a great time catching up with news...need to do that more often! An excellent day and a wonderful night's sleep!
