Camping at Kai Iwi Lakes

 Just returned today from a splendid eight days at Kai Iwi Lakes in the Northland. I was there three days before being joined by Helen. We spent a lot of time reading, or swimming in the crystal clear fresh waters of the largest lake.
 It was a mecca for families with water toys and boats, but the swimming was well worth it, and I only endured a couple of difficult nights of talk and music in which I needed to squash in earplugs.
 The three lakes are like inverted sandhills, and have a definite edge where they get deep very quickly. But the waters are turquoise and delicious.
Loved the whole experience of camping again, and this last shot of me after seven days of no showers or hair washing, pretty much captures it.
