Raglan

Last weekend we headed south the coast west of Hamilton and a little town called Raglan. We rented a bach on the hill above the town with spectacular views, as you can see.


Bi-fold doors opened on both sides of the lounge onto a wrap around deck. Great spot for reading.


Raglan is famous for its surf beaches but it also has a large estuary with good safe swimming for kids. We had some great fun there. On Sunday evening lots of kids were jumping off the wharf and the footbridge into the water. Ethan thought this was great and was leaping off the edge of the footbridge's base into the foot deep water. We hadn't gone prepared forswimming that evening so he was doing it in the nude and loving every minute. The next morning we went back prepared for some quality beach time. This photo shows something you won't often see - crowds at the beach. There was a primary school "marine biology" trip there the same time as us.


Bridal Veil Falls is one of the local attractions. The drop is 55m.

Imogen enjoyed her holiday too. She even wore a dress for the first time in honour of the occasion. She is now up to 9lb 11 and doing very well.
