Day 48. Mahia Beach. Topsy Turvy sunset.

Journeyed North again, this time to the Mahia Peninsula, a remote corner of NZ which sees few tourists (one other couple on our campsite).

We're in solid Maori country now, with European New Zealanders or 'Pakeha' definitely in the minority. As a nod to the locals we decided tonight would be the night we tried out our BBQ and boiled up some Kumara - an indigenous sweet potato.

Not bad either. But the honey-glazed lamb chops were still the star turns of our slap-up.

Witnessed a miraculous natural phenominan at dusk - the sun setting in the North. Either that, or the compass Joel and Bella bought us as a going away present isn't quite top of the range.
