Off to the beach in Saturday to Whangamata (Fangamatar) to stay the night at a friend's beach side house. Lots of narrow, windy and steep roads to get there – its on the east coast at the bottom of the Coromandel peninsula. The beach was superb and we boogie boarded in the Pacific surf. Apparently the population of the town goes up by x20 next week when the rest of the schools finish for Christmas – it was good to enjoy the sunshine and surf without competing against the remainder of New Zealand! Also good to put our Welsh wetsuits and boards to use again. Our visit coincidend with a big surf-rescue competition with 25+ inflatables racing to pick up 'drowning' swimmers....
