More boat pictures

Boat to Motoroa

Last Wednesday we took a boat from Paihia to Motoroa Island. Paihia reminded Chantelle and I of Bowness-on-Windermere. Lots of feverish activity around a wharf. Trips are run out to a sea cliff that has a hole in it - it is called the Hole-in-the-rock trip. Kiwis are very functional in their place names.

There will be more pictures. We are making the most of the camera man.

Domestic scenes

I am going to post small regular bitsas I was having trouble loading up pictures yesterday.
Here we have Grandma doing some gardening and Zephyr doing his best to pretend to be a human.
I am a week behind in real time from where we are up to. We had a good trip to Motoroa Island, good weather, antastic accommodation, lots of healthy walks and fishing. Between us we saw some of the rarer birds that live on the island.
I got ill over the weekend and had to take it easy, but Ma and Pa have been in good health.
We went to The Orana for a meal last night. It was very pleasant and we all got to taste unusual things.
Today we are going to the ANZAC ceremony and will make ANZAC cookies .
