Off to Himatangi

We went off to Himatangi Beach Holiday Park for the weekend, and decided to arrive a day early, just because we could.  In fact, there were six vans from our caravan club with the same idea, so there was quite a little gathering of us making the most of an extra day away.

The camp cat was waiting to say hello as we walked past.  Wonder if she knows that we have a cat in our van?  Perhaps she will want to come and play.

The weather was fine and sunny, pleasant enough to sit outside under the awning.  That’s what life should be all about when camping, sitting outside, chatting with friends, enjoying the fresh air.

Gemma came outside to enjoy the fresh air too.  Her head kept turning this way and that, as she kept an eye on all the birds flying about.  She certainly has a well honed hunting instinct and no doubt would love to be free of her harness and able to try this bird hunting lark!

Watching the birds

Dot arrived in her new (to her) van.  This was a good first rally for her, not too far from home, and with plenty of caravan club members around to help with any questions, such as why the TV wasn’t working!  After a twist and turn of the knob, Selwyn soon had it up and running.

Other vans rolled in on Friday, there was certainly a good turnout for our weekend at Himatangi.  Selwyn and Kath were the Rally Family and had some fun things  arranged for the weekend.

Looks like you had a lovely fine weekend for your trip away. Nothing like meeting up with friends whilst 'on the road'.
