litttle retreat .. again.. not finished ..

ok .. the name of the retreat us te ne kau or tenekau....it was a cabinlike place with a fireplace, woods all around and a walk to the beach.. and on the way there were other smaller cabins ... very idyllic... of course, that changed at night when a bunch of loud teenagers in the room next to us decided to hang out in hall next to our door and jump on beds after... fb stuck his head out the door... thats all it takes... what clout.. eh....a girl working there made fresh muffins every morning and sold eggs that we could cook... good deal..
we went on a river walk .. short but nice.. thru some woods with stuff hanging off trees, little running brook... it lead to another walk along a gorge... ran into the german girl again on walk ,, she was heading to franz joseph... taking a mom and daughter that she had met at the cabin place...
saw the famous,, i think,, pancake rocks.. literally look like a stack of pancakes.. and the cafe cross the street sold syrup.. ha.. just joshin...
we saw a weka bird in punakaki,,, we thought it was a kiwi.. but kiwis are nocturnal and this was early morning.. i had put a bag down with cheese and bread, we were packing car... he started feasting on it... your breakfast weka not ours anymore...
