Day 56 - Uawa - Tolaga Bay

Day fifty-six was a beautiful but lazy day. After setting the kontiki last night and with only a 'doggie' for return we all slept in and decided to stay for the day. Some people did extra washing but we spent most of the morning talking and resting.

We walked into the township just before lunch and had lunch in a small cafe. Lovely toasted sandwiches, pies and muffins. Good coffee to. After lunch we discovered the local radio station - Radio Uawa FM - 88.5 & 99.3. The announcer, Nikora Curtis, invited us in and asked where we came from and did we want a request. He then wanted one of us to speak on air. Everyone piked out so it was left to me. Good fun. Our request was 'On the Road Again'. Nik and the station is famous for 176.5 hours of continuous broadcasting.

The remainder of the afternoon was blob out time.
