We were lucky enough to be dropped to the start of the Waitangi Forest track by Kerri from the Kerikeri Motor Court Motel, this saved us 5kms of road walking and was a great start to the day. We came across a few cyclists and a few horse riders, Bella had her picture taken with them and they were really friendly but now Bella wants a horse. The horses were beautiful creatures. The views along the trail were devine, we found an awesome clearing to have lunch and soaked up all the beauty that is the Bay of Islands....and it just got better around every bend. The disappointment of the day was at Waitangi itself, not wanting to pay $45 (the cheapest option available) for our family to just enter the grounds we gave it a miss, total downer. Also I think people these days when giving advice on distance especially just around the corner distance are just plain wrong. "Fab resturant just around the corner"... may be in a car yes just around the corner, not when your on two legs and those legs have been doing overtime for the last week.
Bella had an awesome day with BS control and often left us eating her dust as she powered on.
