Decided to stop off at a couple of places we hadn't yet seen before we went back to the hotel to spend some time around the pool. Something we haven't really had time to do.
Along the coast from the Matavai Hotel where we are staying.
This one is of the hotel to show how it sits up above the cliff. Not very clear as I had to zoom in a long way to see it from a far point Toyulu.
Two little sandy bays either side of Toyulu point. Above and below.
Anaana Point blow holes above and below.
Big seas after the storm yesterday. Massive waves crashing against the cliffs making the blow holes work well, loud as. They have been so loud all day under our hotel. Even shaking the room sometimes. Couldn't tell the difference between the high and low tide today as the waves were so big they were coming over the whole reef.
Now gone down the Amanau sea track above and below saw big bright blue reef fish and big black ones too.
This is the wharf for the boats but because of the size of the waves couldn't get boats in here as you can see how rough and how high the waves are. Some of the big waves were going right over the wharf.
This is where captain cook landed in 1774. Couldn't land there with those big waves today. Above and below
Some people we meet from Torbay our last dinner as we leave tomorrow.
It was crab night so guess who had the crab. Very disappointing as hardly no meat in them and very dry. Not like those lobsters in Prince Edward Island.
Our farewell sunset off the dining terrace.
Must have been a quieter day as I have posted two blogs so hope you realise and have picked up yesterdays.
Its sad to be leaving tomorrow. Its been a great holiday, so much to see. What a great place to come to. We have both really enjoyed it. Will try and post pictures of the outside of the hotel before we leave tomorrow But will see how I go for time as we have to be out of the hotel by 10.00 but plane doesn't leave until about 1.55 pm. I think.
