Pictures

Sandboarding
You weren't supposed to stand on these things, but you know Sam, he just had to try. I think he tumbled off about halfway down the hill.

The view of the sand dunes from the other side of the harbor.


Kauri Forest
The huge kauri tree named Tane Mahuta. If you can see the people near the bottom of the picture, you might get an idea of it's size.



Waiwera Campsite
The kid from the Waiwera campsite named Tyler, with his wicked Optimus Prime headgear.



Hot Water Beach
Brad and Sam digging in the sand. It proved to be impossible at the time, so they waited another 30 minutes for the tide to be at its lowest.


The small hot pool - more like warm pool - after it was finished. Too bad I didn't get a picture of the better one further along the beach.
