With a day or two to kill before New Years Eve we headed to Raglan, briefly pausing in Kawakauwa to have a look, and go in, the Hundertwasser Toilets. A bizarre art deco affair with bottles and broken glass mosaicing the walls.
Radio advert for the day. 'Nigel talks to everyone, Nigel even talks to poeple when they aren't there. Nigel's not all there. He's got dementure'. WHAT?! We drove up through the fern trees before continuing our drive south via Auckland and several one street one storey towns into Raglan.
Sunny Raglan is set on a river estuary with aqua blue waters and New Zealands best surf nearby at Ngarunui beach. Jona booked himself a lesson straight away and an hour later was practicing 'popping up' and learning about rip tides before hitting the beach to put it into practice. Two waves later and its like watching Patrick Swayze in Point Break. Or so he though until Emma showed him the pictures, more like Mr. Bean learns to surf!
Off in search of food after a hard afternoon on the waves, despite being a tourist destination, the town seemed to lock down after 7pm. We found a decent pizza place still willing to serve us and even found a bar after dinner. However we didn't have a drink. Emma got ID. So did Jona! Oh well, at least we both look under 25!
