Horrendous boat trip to great barrier island. Storm with big waves/swells and pouring rain made the ferry journey a very unpleasant, wet and chunderous five hours!
When we landed we drove to our holiday house through the stormy rains, parked at our alloted parking spot then carried all our stuff up a slippery clay path another 50 metres up hill!
The house is off the grid and uses a combination of solar and a generator that I need to go out and start. Hopefully we’ll have enough electricity so I won’t have to go out this evening.
The wind and rain is meant to be done by tomorrow morning so we can enjoy the view, dry our clothes and start exploring. Our stomachs should be over our jetlag by then too!
you can’t see the wind in these pictures, or just how wet we were!
