Kiwi Summer.... Enjoying the evening....

This is my last night of my camping holiday in Kaiteriteri. The time has gone very fast and we have packed a lot into the 16 days I have been here. . My current car is smaller than the 4x4 drive we have used in the past. Friend Rachel left for home this morning kindly taking some of my gear. It has been very hot all day.... stifling in the caravan and awning. We are having a heatwave. I spent time sitting in the shade socializing with my camping friends. I also started packing up the rest of our gear. This evening Hannah and Alex drove from Marahau to take down the Gazebo and take away some of our heavier camping gear. They will bring some of it back to Blenheim in due course.
