Camping in the Wairarapa

We are rather behind so here is our update from a month ago. 

  Our furniture was due to arrive the following weekend and we took advantage of the still warmish weather to go camping and hiking in the Waihine Gorge.   It is our new favourite place in the Wairarapa.   The campsite was deserted, very basic.  Run by the department of Conservation.   We arrived Sat am, set up the tent, and went walking for 5 hours, cooked a delicious dinner and watched the stars come out.  Not the warmest of nights; we thought it dropped to about 10'c, but we were glamping and were  fully prepared with soft pillows and self inflating camping mats!
