NZ Hokianga Harbour

Steph and Lance live in a region of New Zealand called Hokianga (you may remember the biggest tree in area is called Hokianga). From one of their high hills, you can see Hokianga Harbour; it's a huge inlet of water that reaches the ocean.
The Olivers have a boat we dropped in the harbour and drove out to where the harbour water meets ocean water. There are sand dunes there you can board down (we'll talk about that later). While Rob and Lance tried their hand at fishing (it was a bust), Mary and Steph wrote some graffiti in the sand.

It says "Mary + Steph were HERE."
Using her feet, Mary wrote the "Mary + were." She tried to write the same size as Steph, and thought she was. These are huge letters, eight feet tall; you can see them from the other side of the harbour!

More pics from our harbour trip are below.
