Up, breakfasted & schoolwork done well before the Kiwis' appeared from their beds!
Glorious sunny day - decided to stay in Auckland another day, and go to the Auckland Domain for the "Kiwi Day Out". Andy gave us a lift to the park. We saw some Maori & Polynesian music, as well as more contemporary stuff (a Finn brother!) & M got face painted as a butterfly - the queues were huge, so D&J went off in search of free ice creams & bought candy floss. Wandered around the "International Village" & watched some Irish dancing - girls were wearing really over the top curls!
Once we had looked at everything, we walked back to Epsom (~5km or so) in the sunshine. Once home, D made a feeble attempt to get into the pool (to mid-thigh only!). Maybe try again in 6 weeks time!
Andy & Gwyn returned home from the parade (All Blacks team riding through Auckland city center), and started to prepare tea. Rhian & Caris arrived, accompanied by 3 young French guys, who they had rescued last night after their car had been stolen! Spent an enjoyable evening drinking wine, eating good food, & chatting to family & the French!
