6 months have gone by for this year already and its not for want of something to say its that we have too much! Sorry for the silence. Will update you now on the last little while.
So back to Christmas. A while ago but still great memories of family and friends during our time home in NZ. Had a lovely time down Wellington way and this year even managed a few days staying at our beach house at Waitarere. Enjoyed fish and chips on the beach at Paraparaumu with Mum and Dad from Dads favourite place "Fed Up"!
Also spent some great days up north with fantastic NZ weather and plenty of delicious food and drink. Tried a new cocktail made with iced tea, Jack Daniels, Cointreau and mint leaves. Very lovely. Also went to Kawau Island for the day and I won the competition for the most photos taken of the copper mine from all angles around the.island. Are you surprised?! We also visited the sculptures at Brick bay which were interesting indeed.
One of my Christmas presents this year, following on from my taster on a jet ski in Samoa, was a 30 minute jet ski ride at Whangaparaoa. Adam dared to ride on the back and even though I tried a couple of times to loose him, he was still there clinging on for grim death at the end! Eat our spray man we zoomed and it was such an adrenaline ride. Spray in our faces the works. Still need to perfect the turn, as didnt quite believe what I was being told about the jet ski being impossible to tip over and that it would always pop back upright like a Weeble that wobbles but wont fall down!
