Our caravan club rally at Himatangi kept us busy, with the usual Morning Teas, 4zees, after dinner get togethers and a couple of quizzes to test our brain cells. On Saturday morning we pooled cars and drove up to Viv’s Kitchen, “world famous in Sanson” and home of the giant cream horns. Viv is now the proud owner of two little dinky vans, the yellow one being a recent acquisition, and they were proudly on display in the car park.
We all found seats at the reserved tables and settled back to enjoy our morning tea. Cream horns aren’t compulsory, there are other delights available too, if you so desire.

The sound level dropped dramatically as everyone ate their morning tea, only to get loud again once the food had been consumed. This crowd certainly has plenty to talk about, covering a wide range of topics.

Back at camp Dave’s dog came to say hello. Dogs are allowed at Himatangi Beach Camp, as long as they are under control. Several of our club members now have dogs which are not necessarily welcome at all camps.
A fair bit of “male bonding” took place. Wonder if they were commiserating about the All Blacks getting beaten by the Aussies in the Bledisloe Cup game?
Wonder what they are talking about?
The beach was just a short walk away, so after a quick trip to the local dairy I popped down to have a look. It was rather rough, strong cold winds, with drift wood all over the beach.

Sunday morning tea was supplied by camp proprietors Reuben and Alice. Much appreciated and many thanks indeed. Our new President Barry welcomed Wayne into the club, (his first official duty he commented) after Wayne had completed the necessary three rallies. Everyone then packed up and left before lunch as bad weather was on the way and we all wanted to get home before it arrived. Thanks to Selwyn and Kath for arranging a great rally.

It sounds like your rally timing as pretty good, weather wise. It’s good that Dot has a nice new motor home to bring along. I love your NZ expression of “World Famous in Nw Zealand” and the amount of driftwood on your beaches amazes us. We were pretty happy with the rugby result and were happy that we sat up to watch it.
