Yesterday I went with Will on a field trip to Tawhiti museum where we saw life-size displays of New Zealand life in years past. We also took a boat ride that was very similar to the Pirates of the Caribbean ride in Disney only instead of pirates it was Maori's trading and battling with Europeans. We were not allowed to take photos with a flash which is why I have posted no pics of this part of the day. We then went to the water tower in Hawera where we climbed the 215 steps to the top. Views were awesome!
Last night I went out with some girls, 3 of us American and 2 local Kiwis. We ate at The Table bistro where Sparky the resident Westie roamed under the tables! We then headed to Frederick's for a glass of wine then went home.
Today we strolled down to the Coastal Walkway, played on the playground and waded in the pools during low tide, looking for sea life. We saw lots of hermit crabs, prawns, kina sea urchins and, my favorite, starfish!
Mikaylie is at Womad, an annual music festival, with some friends. It's quite pricey for a day pass so Billy and I will have to catch it next year because he's on call this weekend and if we tried to go, Murphy's Law says he'd be called away.
Still can't believe we LIVE here!!!
