On the way to Parakai we stopped at the Oratia Farmers' Market to pick up some Maori potatoes but they weren't there, too early in the season for them I guess. Picked up some lovely freshly grown strawberries and a pot of my favourite Apricot Chutney, the day was one out of the book and I really wanted to stay & browse some more but those mineral pools beckoned!
Next stop was morning tea at Kumeu at the Carriages Cafe which is a couple of old train carriages with a lovely sunny deck built between them to extend the cafe. A really beautiful spot right by a pond, great coffee too.
