Tuesday
A very crisp morning - I heard tell of frost on the ground - turned into another beautiful day and a group of us headed out early to explore some of the trails around the lodge, our walk takes us to The Incline which true to its name is a very steep ascent along the path of a historical railway and winch system used for logging.
The birds were very curious and friendly
The incline is aptly named.
Not much at the top apart from a few historical artifacts!
In the afternoon Julie and Alice led us out on a ride along the shores of the picturesque Nydia Bay
We had a good laugh with Andrew trying to pronounce Ngawhakawhiwhi
Group photo time, note the possum skull on Julies head, for those of you who don't know possums are a huge pest problem in New Zealand.
We got to meet the resident 80 year old eel, he made a pretty solid effort at eating my finger but I was too fast for him...just. Note to self - don't hand feed eels.
Time for a spot of fishing
Time for some oyster and mussel gathering

Saying hi to the goats at the lodge
Sue passed the sacred Tiki to Kees who had spent the day doing plumbing work at the lodge.
We finished the day with Phils bomb fire.
