This morning we got up very early for the bus heading from Auckland to Mercury Bay/Whitianga. We stopped off at the Kiwi Experience main office and were then told due to the continuing bad weather that we would not be able to do very much today because it just wasnt safe/we wouldnt get any good views! So we just headed off on our way to mercury bay. Eventually we got to Hahei beach where the weather was blue skies and sunshine (yay finally!) and we spent an hour or so soaking up the sun and enjoying the waves on the beach!
We had convinced dan that he should follow us down to Mercury bay and told him we would eb stayin at On The Beach, when the booking sheet came round on the bus this was not an options (oops) so we ended up having to call ourselves and book ourselves into this hostel which turned out to be a YHA hostel and it was overlooking the beach and they had free kayaks (we cudnt use because of strong winds or something) and free boogieboards to use! So the 5 of us (Me, Miranda, Charlotte, Holly and Sem) all checked in and managed to find Dan! and whilst miranda and dan went off running (crazy people) the rest of us grabbed a boogyboard and legged it to the beach! it was SOOOOO much fun! i love it!! im so good at it! (ahahahaha) i get it from my mother! After that we had to walk ages down the road into town only to find that the town was closed with one takeaway shop with really really greasy food. omnomnom. We ended up sitting on a staircase by the beach just watching the stars whcih was sooo perfect! and then also getting covered in water when massive waves came without us noticing! really good night though! and Mercury bay was really gorgeous! and we made the best decision not to stay with everyone else on our bus because our hostel was AWESOME!
Charlotte, Sem and Me got up at 6am to watch sunrise and even tho we cud see it was cloudy and kind of light already we still went and sat on a bench for 15mins before deciding it was a complete waste of time and we should have stayed in bed...oops. We said goodbye to Dan today as he was off somewhere else on his travels so the 6 of us became the 5 kiwi bus travellers!
