For our long weekend we booked a bach at Campbells Beach which is 10 mins from Matakana. When we left the weather was terrible being very windy with heavy rain. It didn't change. The views from the bach were spectacular but we couldn't appreciate it! Not to be beaten we determinedly went the to the famous Matakana market to the joy of the boys in their raincoats and wellies! The market was great with some interesting stalls such as Lothlorien wine (Fejoa), whitebait fritters and amazing bakery stands as well. Unfortunately, the rain got heavier and the boys were losing the will to live so we quickly headed to a reliable cafe, with a burning fire! The boys enjoyed a chocolate smoothie. It was only eleven o'clock and a long day indoors was facing us. The bach had a distinct lack of DVD's although the board games of 'The Game of Life' and 'Battleships' were something to look forward to but we needed reinforcements! There was a Warehouse at Snells Beach so we headed there to stock up for the day. Alex is Pokemon obsessed and purchased a series of 26 episodes, Tom went for Mr Men and Oli thankfully went for something a little more viewable, Garfield 1 and 2. We stocked up with firewood and popped into a cafe for chips where Oli artistically used the ketchup! We had a lovely warm day in the bach watching DVD's and playing 'old' games which included 'Atmosphere' (remember that!) with our PJ's!
