Last night I had a stern word with myself and have managed to stop moping around, in fact we had a lovely day today. We woke up and drove to the local store where we picked up some bacon and then parked up by the river and had for breakfast a lovely greasy bacon butty complete with posh ketchup mmmm... it beats the weetabix which we have had every day since we arrived in NZ and none of us can face eggs again after the overload in South America.
Full of breakfast we drove 50k up the coast to a place which has hot pools which you can bathe in. The pools are set in a lovely rainforest environment and we walked in the rainforest for 30 mins until we came across the pools. There were 3 pools, one was freezing, one pleasant and one boiling and so we hopped between the three (well I avoided the cold one) and chatted to a couple from Bournmouth a couple from Holland, a couple from Germany and a guy from Chile. It was lovely, sitting in a hot bath for an hour or so. Sam played in the river and tried to climb a tree (unsuccesfully) I like it when he does things like that it reminds me that he is only 12.
Tired and happy we drove back to the same camp site as last night and are now sat in the van, Will sleeping, Sam reading and I'm about to make tea (butter chicken curry with beef) and do French with him. Tomorrow we are heading inland to a lake in a nature reserve where you can hire boats etc which will be brilliant... see I had forgotten that you have to go out and make fun things happen to have fun.
