Day 11 Maraehako – Waihau
Reluctantly we moved on from Maraehako today, but not far, only about 25kms. We are definitely taking it easy on this New Zealand cycling tour! We cycled to the next bay, Waihau Bay, and yet another deserted beach. It is on Oruaiti beach where we once again tried to learn how to fly our drone! Practice will make perfect eventually.
The idea was to stay here two nights and stock up on supplies, but the shelves in the holiday park shop are practically empty, so much so that tonight we cycled the couple of kilometres back to Waihau Bay Lodge for dinner – scallops and steak washed down with a glass of red before making a dash back to the campsite in the dark. We had our head lights and tail lights on, and thankfully there was no traffic to worry about.
Waihau Bay campsite NZ$28 for the night. Waihau Bay Lodge dinner for two NZ$84.
Tomorrow we’ll move on again in the hope that the motor camp at Te Araroa will be better stocked.
