December was hectic as its the end of the school year aswell as Christmas, But good too. It was great to see Dad and El and show them around Taumarunui and Nz north island. The Girls thought it was great having Grampy and Nanny El around. And I think they enjoyed it too. After the end of term we headed up to Auckland and saw Lucy and Neal and had a pre christmas meal and drinks which was great! We did our last minute shopping in Auckland and then. Headed to the Airport to meet Marian and Bryan it was good to see them and a bit emotional for Sarah. They were tired but excited to see the girls and looking forward to seeing NZ. Once we left the airport we headed north to Orewa and then on to the bay of islands we spent a few days up there and travelled back through the Kauri forests of the west coast. We Found a great camp site just north of Dargaville, Freya went Kyaking and eeling she had a great time. From here we headed to the Coromandel were we met up with Dad and El again and all of us spent a wonderfull Christmas at a Bach in Cooks Beach. The house was great and only 2 mins from the beach. We had a seafood Christmas dinner with crayfish and prawns mussels and plenty of booze. Freya and Merryn loved their presents and were pleased that santa had found them in Cooks beach.
Boxing Day we headed of to Cathedral cove which is beautiful and Hot water beach where you can dig a hole in the sand and have your own spa.
After several days of running up the beach and swimming in the sea and seeing some great sceanery we headed back to Taumarunui while My parents travelled home via Auckland and Bryan and Marian went to Rotorua......................TO BE CONTINUED
