Day – Hike to Wentworth Waterfall, drive south
Night – Mount Maunganui Beachside Holiday Park
In the morning, we embarked on a multiple hour hike through the mountains, ending at a spectacular two-tier hundred foot waterfall. It was nice hiking in cooler temperatures. Despite the crappy DOC camp facilities, the trail systems were well maintained and pleasant to walk through.
In the early afternoon we loaded up the vans and headed further south, aiming for Mount Maunganui. We reached the holiday park at dusk and pulled in, excited to shower and use a real bathroom again.

Wentworth falls, definitely "worth" it, can you see JV's red shirt in the far upper left (very faint)
The crew hiked to the top of the falls
