Kapiti Island

Kapiti Island trip with Rotary - Sunday 11 May 2008.

We went to Kapiti Island last Sunday. This was a visit that had been postponed from earlier in the year due to bad weather. We were worried about the weather on the day but it turned out to be reasonable; rain in the morning with a pleasant sunny afternoon, although the swell got up a bit later. Probably would have been worse if the predicted weather of a sunny morning and wet afternoon had come about.

At 521 metres high it was quite a climb. From the seashore it certainly doesn't give the impression that it is that high. My muscles are still suffering however Sarah and I did make it to the top.

Christine took a stack of photos and a few of them are below.

Going over on the boat.
Made it to the top - 521 metres up in the air.
Sitting on top -sitting not shitting - I hope!!


Serious - and only half way up.
