And we found a lovely coffee shop in downtown Whakatane.
Nigel had some urgent repairs to attend to, ably assisted by JB.
This will be the last time we see this density of traffic for a whole week. Yippee!!.

Like bees around the honey pot.
We ate very well at lunchtime, but everyone still charged in like there

Taking a whole heap of thermoses (thermi ?) saved a lot of time
getting your cuppa.

The Pathway to the Sunrise
Carvings by Heke Collier were unveiled by Dame Catherine Tizard in 1991.
Reading about the carvings.
A time capsule was buried under the plaque in 1991.
It does not give a suggested opening date.

The sign is rather tired, and that's how some of us felt the following morning
after riding up the first hill of the day, starting only 200m from camp!!!.
Sunset at Hawai Bay.
