Our Day in Raglan

We woke up to the sound of more rain. We then went into the town for our morning coffee and decide how to spend our time in Raglan. Since it was so stormy Raglan’s main tourist attraction, surfing, did not sound too appealing. After visiting the iSite and seeing the small town, John decided to give it ago anyway. We went to a hostile that rents surfboards and car straps to and rented a cheap board. We put the board on our little Yaris and headed to the beach. We were even given a good deal on a room if we decided to stay the night.

John attempted to surf but was unsuccessful. By the time he got in the water the wind picked up and surf became too choppy for him. So here are some pictures of John splashing in the water:




Here is a picture of the beach in general. As you could imagine, it would be very nice during the summer.


Once John was tired of being pushed around, we went back to the hostile to stay the night. We were promptly turned away rudely by the duty manager who "can’t be bothered getting off of the couch to walk down to the office in the rain an hour before his shift actually ‘starts’”.

So, we went back into town for dinner food and we stopped by Ste’en’s house to say hi but he was not home. We had killed the hour and went back to the hostile for the night. The duty manager was pleasantly kissing our asses and let us have the first sauna for the night.
