Second Stop: Takapuna

Second stop Takapuna

We moved a few miles north of Auckland yesterday to stay with Peter and Catherine in Takapuna – really nice to be back here with them again. Their apartment has wonderful sea views….

Everyone was enjoying the sunshine before the deluge forecast for the next few days. It held out just long enough for the NY celebrations.

  1. It’s been good to catch up with NZ friends this week… Barbara & John who we first met at Holy Trinity Tauranga a dozen years ago just as they were about to come to the UK for a year. Good to get to know them that year and to revisit them and HTT … Also got together with our Christchurch friends’ daughter Frances and her two girls for a swim and a fun afternoon. …and seeing a previous house swapper friend, Karen, on Saturday, who is going to show us her ‘almost finished’ 3 year house renovation!
