As we round the point of land just beyond the southern side a small bach appears and sitting on the porch are two men. One is in what appears to be striped pyjamas. I take a second look and am quite sure my eyes are seeing someone whose face is familiar. “Is that you Mr Peters”? I call out. A smile breaks on the creased face of one of the men as he replies ‘Yes - it is’.
‘Well - good morning to ya!’ I call back.
He gives an appreciative look, however, at the same time one of ‘can I not get away and have some peace to myself’ kind of look.
Its not an everyday occurrence that you spot the Deputy Prime Minister of NZ.
The coastline nooks and crannies were absolutely stunning for the next 5 kilometres. Places tucked in to the land loooking out to sea with their own private beaches. Paradises!
At days end we arrived in the village of Ngunguru. A solid 30+ kilometre walk for the day.
We were so fortunate that a contact through Young Farmers days had a place we could stay. A lovely comfortable bed. Pizza from the local shop.
An area of NZ worth exploring further!
