Camping Misery

A couple of weeks ago, we all went camping across the other side of the Tarauas at Kiriwhakapapa, a DOC campiong site on the edge of the mountains.

It should have been great. The weather here on the West Coast of the North Island was calm and still.

But at Kiriwhakapapa, the wind was howling through the trees, straight from Antarctica. It blew out tent half down and bent a pole. The next day and night it rained. And Molly was sick in the tent. It was awful.

Meanwhile, the sun beat down on the parched Horowhenua.
