Kemp/Robinson Camping Trip

We had an awesome week away camping in Cambridge with the Robinson family. We had a great campsite, which provided sufficient room for our 2 large tents, 2 gazebo's (although ours turned out to be no good), enough room to park both cars behind the tents and enough spare flat lawn for a cricket pitch.

Our first day we headed off around 8am, stopping in Pokeno for (an expensive $55) breakfast. It was yummy, but way too over priced. We then continued straight on to the camping ground and proceeded to set up camp. (We had left our tent pitching instructions at home, but managed without any problem - or cursing - to set it up relatively easily) Once this was accomplished we went into town for some lunch and a spot of grocery shopping. We then returned to the camp ground and played cricket (all 8 of us) for about 3 hours straight. We all slept quite well that night.

Crack of dawn the birds chirped us awake - welcome to being at one with nature!
We had a great time exploring Cambridge and the surrounding areas, including an almost full-day stop at Tirau-I had never been, but now love this place. Full of antique and arty/crafty shops and book shop that is to die for. Loads of old waiting to be discovered books. I can't wait to go back there! Our time camping was a good mix of doing things all together and also as separate families, but always coming back to share the evening. It was great.

Loads of photos from the trip, so I'll get on to loading a stack over the next few days - just with captions.
