Woohoo I am so excited for today! We will start the morning with a ferry ride across the Hokianga harbour to experience the thrill of sand boarding down massive dunes!! We were a little bit late but the boat was still waiting for us.
In no time we were on the other side, grabbed our board, ran up the dunes and slide down on our belly. We were instructed that if we wanted to stop you have to put your toes in the sand, or you simply don’t do that and sail right into the water. It was a bit cold so I decided to stop in time haha.
It was a fun and also sporty time we all had! After 45 min everyone was out of breath with big smiles on our faces and ready to go back to the car. We had a long journey ahead of us, cause we had to go back all the way to Auckland. Luckily we scheduled a view stops on the way.
Nr 1 - an amazing and stunning waterfall!
Nr 2 - NZ’s largest Kauri tree
Nr 3 - idyllic Kai Iwi lake with beautiful crystal-clear water surrounded by a pure white sandy beach for lunch!
We arrived late afternoon back in Auckland from an amazing and satisfying day! Thank you seagull for the first three awesome days of our Stray journey!
Tomorrow we will hop on another Stray bus with a new driver and some new people.
But first we get some sleep
