Last month my sister asked if we would like to come with them to Waihi Beach for a weekend. They were going for a wedding and wanted us to come so we could watch the kids while they went to the reception. I take every opportunity to show Tui some new part of his new home so off we went.
Although it's only 1 1/2 hour drive away, we took our time, stopping at every insignificant place along the way.
We stopped for lunch and a swim in Te Aroha.
We visited the gold mines in Waihi. The boys looooooooooooved it; a big hole with dirt, trucks and diggers, what's not to love? When they're bigger we might fork out the $25 each for the actual tour.....
We rode on a historical train. So much fun. There was an inside an an outside carrige, which of course our boys moved between every 2 minutes.
Waihi Beach itself was a bit of a disaster. It was the worst possible weather, gale force winds, flooding, and my niece was throwing up the whole time so we didn't even end up babysitting for my sister. And we didn't ever get to even look at the beach. But other then that it was a great little weekend getaway.
