Whangamata Beach Hop 2014

Whangamata is a pleasant seaside town of about 4000 people until 'Beach Hop' hits in late March. Then the town explodes with 100,000 visitors arriving to enjoy the era of the 1950ies and 60ties with bands playing Rock en Roll, people dressing for the period, vintage and classic cars on display and a huge parade and of particular interest to us a collection of Retro Caravans. We arrived on Thursday afternoon, set up camp on the high schools sports field and prepared to let the fun begin.......
