The guy who runs the Kawhia Motor Campground gave me a thorough briefing on the local area and what I should see so this morning so I followed his advice and took the gravel road up to Raglan and I am glad I did. Raglan is a laid back bohemian sort of small town, there were a few tourist around but most seemed to be Kiwis. All water sports seem to be on offer and there was even a pilot stunting over the bay in a light aircraft, I think this place could be one of the draws for me to revisit New Zealand along with Whangamomona Hotel for a reunion weekend and of course the whole of South Island.
I carried on driving from Raglan to Hamilton, a small city in the centre of Waikato which for a city seems to be a nice place, I took the opportunity to visit Hamilton Gardens, free and interesting and the Museum of Art & History, I still can't get my head around Cubism and Modern Art.
Tonight's Gurnard is a species of fish and very good with chips, it is on par with Hoki but neither are as good as Snapper, there seems to be an endless variety of fish available in the chip shops and restaurants and fishing is definitely the most popular sport over here.
