Late December, 2013
Most of our three months in Opua was spent at a slip in the marina, but we did have to move to the wharf for a week or so late in December as all the slips in the marina had been reserved.
The wharf is a busy place, right next to the car ferry during the height of tourist season. I wasn’t excited about moving there, but once we were there we enjoyed watching all the comings and goings of people and boats. We thought of it as our “downtown place” and were a little sad to leave when our slip opened back up at the marina – our “country place.” It’s only a five minute walk from our marina area to the wharf, but the two places feel very different. We had to get used to the peace and quiet of our “country place” again.–Cyndi
