Dinner Cruise was great - only got lost once on the way there (but it was worth it - the scenery around some (unknown) harbour was g8 (how about that for trendy!). Food on board was fabulous (prawns, mussels, and great lamd and fish. Paihia was a pretty place, the trip up to the top was 'adventurous' (Nan's word) the last 20 km was gravel (don't tell Avis). We saw where the Pacific Ocean meets the Tasman Sea; no dolphins or whales or anything 'citing yet.
Back to Whangarei (or something) - pronounced "Fun-gar-ray" (and they reckon we talk funny). Arrived back in Auckland yesterday great accommodation and a NZ pub dinner (is there a World Cup or something on? - they luv their Rugby over here). It took until Thursday to hear a Crowded House song on the radio.
Vege-ing out today (a little overcast). We'll try to upload photos next time we're on (didn't bring the cable today).
Off to Rotorura tomorrow for the Hangi thing - not looking forward to the smell!
Yes Jaister, we are looking for pressies!
Hope all are well - Thanks for the comments.
Luv,
Nan & Pop.
