Had a fantastic birthday in Hahei (or ‘paradise’ to the locals).  After an early breakfast we were picked up at Ferry Landing by a glass bottomed boat and taken out to the Marine Conservation area. Saw some great fish and had chance to snorkel amongst them.

Turned up at a winery in time for a pizza lunch and wine tasting. The only winery I have ever discovered with a table tennis table. Hurrah!

Made our way to Hot Water Beach. We dug a hole in the sand where for two hours either side of low tide, hot water boils up from the fault line running through the area. Very relaxing.

The day ended with a wonderful meal in a local restaurant.
