Woke up in Raglan aching all over! Also woke up to rain, very upset as Raglan is a surf place so we had planned to sunbathe and learn to surf. The forecast was for further rain so we decided to leave and head to Leigh. Not the best decision ever as the rain turned to a storm and a 3hr journey took 7hrs due to accidents and parts of trees in the roads!

Arrived in Leigh and stayed in a dingy hotel, it was quite funny as in the past we would not have been impressed by this hotel but we were so excited to have a big room all to ourselves, with an en-suite, proper towels (not trek towels that don't really dry you), a TV and carpet! Oh the simple things!

The next day the rain was still around therefore we couldn't do our planned snorkelling at Goat's Island or our horse ride on the beach so we headed back to Auckland. Met our cousin Jen for lunch then headed to our Aunt's place. They are away so we have the place to ourselves. I had bath, bliss! We also had to clean the car, I think it might be the first time I have cleaned the inside of a car (yes my car is filthy)!
