Today was the day Saraí was waiting for: we went to fish prawns at Huka Prawn Park. Of course she wore the vest for prawn fishing, just for like 10 minutes because it was a hot day. We took a little tour, a fishing lesson and we went right away fishing. It’s more difficult than you think, because it’s not the same as fish fishing, because they will try...

We walked the ocean front and then crossed a bridge to...
