Last week we hired a house at Mount Maunganui and headed to the beach for a few days of rest and relaxation. I left the planning and booking up to Jonathan this time and he managed to find a great beach house just a few minutes up the road from beautiful Omanu Beach. We were lucky enough to have three days of sunshine - even though the weather forecast told us it was going to rain the whole time we were there.
Well, a picture paints a thousand words so heres a few photos to show what we got up to:
 |
Hiked to the Top of Mount Maunganui - it felt like Mount Everest! |
 |
| Enjoyed the spectacular views from the top - what a pretty country we live in! |
 |
| Ate way too many oh-so-delicious Copenhagen Cones |
 |
| Soaked at the Hot Pools and laughed at their sign afterwards |
 |
| Had a lovely visit from Mum and Dad - just in time for the kids to convince them to buy them another copenhagen cone |
 |
| Had dinner looking out over the beach |
|
| Spent hours in the water and emerged covered in seaweed! |
|
Went swimming at McClaren Falls |
 |
| Relaxed with a good book |
 |
| Ate too much food |
 |
| Discovered some weird sea creatures |
 |
| Spent quality time together. |
