Day 43- March 21st
The next morning it was still raining, so we threw our stuff in the car and left. We stopped at the longest footbridge in the southern hemisphere in Whananaki and walked across it. It appeared to have been built to allow children from one side of the inlet to walk to school on the other side. Then we drove back to Whangarei.
Unfortunately, since it was raining, I was unable to use my camera, so these pictures were taken by my dad with his waterproof camera.
In Whangarei, we stopped at a Farmers (department store) to buy my mom and sister some clothes. Since we live four hours from any other town, and the selection is a bit limited in our town, every time we are in a big city we have to go shopping, no matter what country.
On the way out of the Farmers, we saw a rug store with handmade Turkish Rugs. I didn’t see any that were exactly what I wanted, but my mom and sister both got one (for a total of $400). We stopped at a café for lunch, and I got a BLAT (Bacon, Lettuce, Avocado, and Tomato) sandwich with gluten free bread. It was very good and not very expensive.
We then drove down to Leigh where we stayed at a holiday park near Goat’s Island. It was still pouring down rain, so we got a cabin. We were flying out in only two days, so we needed to start packing and drying stuff out. Unfortunately there was no internet at the park, so we would have to go to another holiday park for our last night, as we had to make some reservations for our flight (such as special gluten-free meals).
