Today was mainly a travelling day, we drove back down the peninsula through Hamilton - NZ's biggest inland city. We made our way across to the West Coast to the small surfing town of Raglan. Our overnight base was the Kaiori Lodge - a wonderful rainforest retreat on the hill side overlooking the sea. This was by far the nicest hostel we had stayed in so far, with a ropes course, zip wire and games room (oh and the beds weren't bad either). We had local fish and chips for tea sat by the log fire, and they were good, but not quite as good as back home!
Raglan is famed as one of the best surfing locations in NZ with good waves coming in from the West. Unfortunately the water looked a little cold for us, and we settled for a nice bush walk to the top of the hill to watch the sun set over the sea.
