We got back to dads for the last time on our travels. The next day of being there was an exciting time for them (especially sharon!) as they were getting their container delivered after a very long wait! It felt like christmas for them and was a relief for all, to have a sofa to sit on, instead of garden furniture!

We had a chilled out week there, just helping out with getting the house into order and preparing to head off to Oz.

Got two days of fishing in, one day very succesful and the next was a quiet fishing day, except for a ray that dad hooked, which nearly took the rod with it but just ended up snapping dads line! was funny!

We went to Ohope beach again one day, now that dad had his Kayak and body board. There had been warnings of the waves the day before, so thought it was guna be alot of fun! the waves were absolutely huge, good for surfers. my fun came to an end when i stood on something sharp and cut the bottom of my foot and had to sit it out! but that didnt stop dad and jamie from taking the kayak out on the waves....it was hilarious to watch....they managed sum how to get over the waves btu on their return the waves got hold of them and threw them out!

After our week with dad and sharon, we said our goodbyes and headed for Auckland to get our flight to Oz. Im really sad to be leaving as i love new zealand so much...Australia has alot to live upto.......
