We were going to the beach this afternoon but after the earthquake in Japan there had been a tsunami warning for NZ so we thought it would better to avoid the coast today.
Instead we drove to Okaihau (1 on the map). There is a big lake here – Lake Omapere - so we thought we might be able to walk around it but we couldn’t get anywhere near it! We drove on the unmade road alongside it but there was a fence or hedging all around it.

We drove a bit further to Rawene (2 on the map). This was a tiny place with just a few buildings which seemed to be mostly art galleries. There is a car ferry in Rawene that crosses to Kohu Kohu. It was a very pretty place. We stopped in the Boat Shed cafe for coffee (for me) and beer (for James as I was driving). The cafe had a deck out over the water. The view was amazing and it was so peaceful.
