Woke up to a brilliant morning. Hahei Beach was looking fantastic.Had tomatoes on Vogel's toast for breakfast looking out at the ocean.Decided that we might travel as far as Whangamata with stops enroute at Tairua and Pauanui .Before long we were back on State Highway 25 and the road began to climb higher and the landscape got quite rugged.The road was great though and as we approached Tairua there were some great ocean views.
We arrived in Tairua about 10.30am and promptly started trying to find the Honeyman's place.Gee, either he is really good at giving directions or we are really good at following them, because we found his place really easily thanks to the large beehive which was serving as a letterbox at his front gate.We didn't find his 'missus' as instructed but we found his sister-in-law instead and were soon driving off with our pot of honey.
