Kapiti Island, a bird sanctuary just off the Kapiti coast
shelters us from wild westerlies.
My whanau (Maori word for family) tuck into fish and chips
cooked by our friend Mike at the village.
The stunning sunset and familiar toitoi silhouette.
My Dad has a quick ride on Meg fully-loaded before I say
goodbye.
