I was going to go to Napier but they were having the big annual wine and music festival and I didnt want to run into trouble finding accomodation. So I just skipped down the coast to Ohope Beach. I have left the Bay of Plenty and am now in the East Cape area.
Click on the map link to get your bearings.

The waves never stop rolling into Ohope Beach.

I am staying with Pat and Brian, ex farmers, now retired and owners of a beautiful B&B in Ohope.

I have finally found out why there are two buttons on the top of the toilets here: one is a full-flush and the other is a half-flush.

For those that have been asking - it flushes clockwise...because we are all upsidedown here...

Pictured to your right: clockwise:

• Ohope Beach waves rolling in
• the town of Ohope
• Saturday morning market sells everything from crafts and foods to fruits and veggies
• a New Zealand toilet with the two flush buttons on top - the left one is the half flush and the right one is the full flush.
