here’s a worry – we’ve got a four hour boat trip tomorrow on a car ferry to get to Great Barrier Island for our week long holiday.  and there’s a storm on the way

i drove over to the zoo to take some photos but the car parks were so busy i decided to go to a normally calm east coast bay to see some big waves
