It has been a time of rest and relaxation. We’re doing a lot of reading, enjoying family and some out and abouting.
We’ve been cycling in the park again (Anderson Park very close to Dave’s home). This time we were armed with old bread to feed the ducks.
The plan was to feed the ducks and swans but there were some cheeky sea gulls who were able to catch the bread in mid air before the ducks even got there.
We took a walk along the beach. It is a pebble beach and looks black. I put my foot in the waves but it was too difficult to walk next to the sea on the pebbles so we walked along the concrete path along the beach front.
We saw children’s playground equipment which are different from what we have in South Africa. Emma and Darren would love it.
Yesterday we went for a walk around the estuary at Penelope Pond. Large areas of mud, mud crabs, birds. It was about 3,5km and we managed it very well in just over an hour.
There was also a beach area closer to the sea where people were in kayaks or on windsurfers or just swimming.
There were also the ubiquitous sea gulls…
Tomorrow we head for Wellingto n where we will catch the ferry the following day to the South Island. Here’s hoping the weather is good. Happy New Year to all our friends. God has great plans in store for us all
