Capri Car Club NZ AGM Hamilton.
Queens Birthday Weekend 29th May - 1st June 2015. (Continued)Saturday morning we met up at the Hamilton Car Museum for a car show and concourse. While the judges were doing their thing, we had a collection of photos of Capri parts to identify and answer various questions about. Turned out I got the most correct, by quite a good margin, on that part but missed out on the prize as we didn't participate in the second part of counting Capris. We needed to be at the meeting that night, but we had other plans.

After the judging was over we headed off in convoy to Raglan, a harbour settlement on the west coast about 40 min from Hamilton.
We ended up at a park overlooking the ocean beach, a popular place for surfing.

Lunch had been set up here for us all, so we stood around in the sun while we ate and enjoyed the views.

The tide was out as we drove back through Raglan on the way to our next stop at the Bridal Veil Falls.

Finding parking for 34 Capris took a while. Luckily there was not much through traffic, as we had the road well blocked.

An easy walk along a beautifully prepared track took us to the top of the falls where a platform let us look over the edge in to a big hole in the bush as the water cascaded down.

It is hard to believe that the peaceful little stream above, feeds the torrent below.

Another view from the top, then down a few hundred steps to view from below.

We stopped at another viewing point half way down.

The views from the bottom were well worth the walk, although the legs were getting a bit jelly like by the time I got back to the top again.

We headed back to Hamilton and our camp site to shower and change, before being picked up by my cousin and his wife in their recently acquired Chevy, to go out for dinner. Sure was a better option than going to an Annual General Meeting
