We got in extremely early (12:05am), got through customs relatively quickly and were met as promised by a driver who took us to Muri Tamaariki Villa on the East coast. He unloaded our bags and went to get the key out of the bbq only to discover that the key wasn’t there. No worries, he used his cell phone and called someone to let them know the keys weren’t there. We settled down on the patio furniture, looked over the bay in front of us and commented on how warm and lovely it was. Half an hour passed, then an hour…then another half hour. Blaise and I walked around the house looking for an open window. We found on and did the "pop the wife up" to be thwarted by a bug screen. We walked down to the main road to see if we could flag down a car and Eddie, the property manager pulls up quite apologetic. The date switch confused the property management staff and they thought we were coming in after midnight the next evening.
We got in, settled in brushing aside Eddie’s apologies that it hadn’t been cleaned (it looked fine) and fell into bed. A few short hours later the roosters went off. Turns out there is a large wild chicken population including roosters, who go off when they hear another one. There was a lot of roosters.
