NZ North Island trip – Ohope – Lotin Point

Posting by Barb:

DSC_5024-1We could not pass up a beach walk at sunrise. I tried to capture the glorious morning with my camera. Before heading out we had our ‘kid’ moment as we decided to jump on the permanent trampoline in the campsite playground.IMG_1098-1 Let me just say that Bill outdid us all and was intent on being ‘King of the Castle’. Maybe it was payback time for being denied a side excursion to roll down a hill in a hamster ball. Yes, it was on his bucket list to pile us all in a big plastic ball with enough water in it to help one slip around the bottom as the ball careens down a hill. He could not convince any of us to join him in that adventure.   From Ohope it was on to Lotin point with a couple of touristy stops along the way. At Lotin point we stayed at a rundown 50 year old motel. But it was the beautiful scenic vista that brought out our camera senses again.
