We had a wonderful day at Foxton beach. Running in the water, eating lunch and playing volleyball was some of the things we did before driving to the river to do some fishing. We went to fish at the wharf in Foxton but we didn’t get any fish. We also saw two men fishing for whitebait**. They showed us the tiny see-through fish which are a New Zealand delicacy which is made into fritters with egg, flour and seasoning. The net had a triangular shape, and the tiny fish were swimming into it, with the help of the tide. The men raised the net several times while we were there and poured the whitebait into a bucket filled with water.

The beach offered some amazing shots for the ones interested in photography. We watched the beautiful sunset as the sun went down into the sea before we drove home from a wonderful day!
