Camping at Pataua - by Jordan







On Sunday I traveled to Pataua and went camping in a camper van at

Frog town when we got there we decided to go for a walk to the beach. We got told that something big was chasing fish into land so there were lots of fish all over the beach, we thought that we could use the fish as bait so we went to get the fishing lines and there were no hooks on them so we couldn`t go fishing . When we got back to the the camper van we decided to go down on the flying fox, it has been broken for a while so we fixed it and went up and down it for half an hour. After that we had dinner, for dinner we had a pie. After dinner we played cards and went to bed. When we woke up and had breakfast we went to climb the mountain, it was hard to climb the mountain because it was really steep and slippery and when we got to the top we had views of of all around Pataua and of all the islands like Little Barrier,Great Barrier,Hen And Chicks and the Poor Knights. It wasn`t an easy journey down because you kept slipping over. When we got back we went for a bike ride on a dirt track and got really dirty because of all the puddles, when we got back it was time to leave. I had a great time and loved it! Thank you to the Luitens!
