This morning we were up at 7.30am ready for our 8.30am departure, after a couple of brief stops we headed to the opposite side of the coast for the surf resort of Raglan. We arrived at Karioi Lodge, set in the middle of the bush, at 2.30pm. After a brief intro and a pumpkin soup lunch we joined some the group in the one hour bush walk loop on the side of the mountain. We enjoyed the steep up and down walk in the rugged terraine, encouraging a fellow traveller, Rita, to complete the walk with us, and returned to the lodge around 4.30pm. We each had a couple of goes on the 'flying fox' ('zip slide'), squeeling along the way before unsuccessfully attempting the ropes course, it was like being on the Krypton Factor! After a very brief knockabout at table tennis, we freshened up for dinner of Dodgy's special 'mean' carbonara, he was so good at making he used jars of sauce and forgot the mushrooms, we were expecting a masterpiece made from scratch!
After dinner we headed down Sunset Boulevard to watch the sunset over the hills, with fellow traveller Alex, not the sea like we were expecting. The evening was spent chilling out with TV (recap of last the series of Desperate Housewives!), mags and Bridget Jones 2.
