Otaki Beach

Last Friday we took a trip up to Otaki to visit a teacher at the Otaki Health Camp and School. This gave us the opportunity to take the Segway for a bit of glide along the beach.

With the x2 kit on gliding on the dry or wet sand was a breeze! Despite the gale force winds and chilly weather we had to at least make it down to the river mouth.

Along the way we ran across this little fellow who immediately took off as we approached! Looked as if he'd been taking a bit of a break from the choppy seas. So we left him to go his way as went ours.

Due to the overcast conditions and the wind, it was hard to take any decent photos, so, we must return here soon! :-)



Got back to Paraparaumu early enough to pick the kids up from school, in fact I had time to spare so I took the opportunity of checking out the little place that sells electric golf carts. More on that later.......

On the way back to the school I had to pass by and visit Dayle at Gold Coast Mechanical (great guys, good service).

And of course I had to let Dayle have a try of the Segway!

Great day out, must do it again soon. Have to go back and take some decent picture of Otaki!
