Our final morning in North island was spent in Blockhouse Bay, a beach area on the southern edge of the city. This was initially a scenic and peaceful spot shared with only a couple of fishermen, but it gradually filled up with families intent on testing the playground's many and varied facilities to the full. After a quick lunch we headed for the campervan hire depot to surrender our vehicle and give an account of its misbehaviour. Needless to say it performed perfectly in front of its owners.
