From Te Mahia we headed to Anakiwa to stay at a friends bach (holiday home) for a couple of weeks. I’m lucky enough to be able to work remotely, and, while the internet wasn’t great there, it was just good enough. I worked 1/2 days (mornings) and then in the afternoon took over from Maaike who worked some of the afternoons. Worked out pretty well.
Had a lovely time, swims, bikes on the queen charlotte (just the free part back towards Te Mahia – route below), once you go past the marker you have to purchase a track pass to use the private land.
We were there for Christmas, and it was pretty fun, there were carols in the dining hall at Outward Bound
And Santa came on a boat on Christmas day and lobbed lollies out from the boat and onto the jetty. No drownings from kids chasing after the sweets (some of which fell in the water)
We walked to Davies bay for Christmas itself. We were lucky enough with the weather as it lashed rain the following evening. I admit I’d been feeling lazy, but, Maaike gave us a push and it was actually a really lovely spot to spend the evening. Million dollar view for $25 for the night for the three of us… just brilliant.
