Summer Holidays

4 January 2014
I love summer - sun, sand, diving, fishing, swimming, hanging on the beach, BBQs and hot weather. We had a great couple of weeks making the most of it.

Mike gets the coolest present - an electric shock game.

They dont look big but these are huge, the biggest snapper I have pulled in for a long time on the longline at dusk, Whanarua Bay.

Two of the biggies

I was very stoked by this 65cm long snapper

And theres the proof

Another beautiful evening at Whanarua Bay

Waihau Bay

A trip to Waihau Bay is never complete without a trip to the Waihau Bay convenience store for an ice cream (like they did on the movie boy).

Fresh crays on the BBQ every day - now thats a real kiwi summer

Garlic, butter and sweet chilli sauce YUM YUM YUM

Giant jenga challenge at whangamata

Its amazing how high you can actually get it

Dress up new years

Off go the lanterns

Cocktails, beersies and a game of circle of death

A repeat of last years new years in chang mai with heaps of lanterns filling the sky
