The Adventure Continues

After our Kuratau trip we headed back to Hastings to go on a trip planned by my Dad. It was a fantastic few days. This photo is looking down on where we stayed in a little cabin next to a river. Dad totally spoilt us with an action packed few days with much to enjoy. Lots of photos follow of our time here but one thing we did that there are no photos of was lay under the stars. It is amazing how many more stars you see when you are away from city lights. We were blessed with a clear sky and beautiful sunny days.

My brother in law lent us his 4 wheel drive, toyota hilux. Very generous of him. I became quite attached to it.

Anna-Marie helping Matthew across the river. Joel and Matthew following in Grandad's footsteps by fishing the river. Grandad organised for the girls to go on a three hour horse trek. They loved it and enjoyed a beautiful day and a beautiful view. They met us down at the river and then Joel jumped on and the three oldest children rode the extra 40 minutes home. It was a highlight of the time here.

When it got dark we went spotlighting for rabbits. The kids thought it was great fun.

Rachel with an eel she caught in a local stream. We used the rabbit as bait.

On day two Grandad and the children went jet boating on the river. It is quite a skill to jet boat the river and makes for an exciting ride.
