Last week we went on a bit of a road trip with Janet. We started our week in the Coromandel. I love this photo of Rob and Emma - it shows how little she is! We had a couple of lovely days enjoying the beach & sunshine in the Coromandel.
From there we travelled onto the Mount - one of my all time fav places - trying to convince Rob that we need to live there! Here we are after an energetic walk up the Mount (about an hour all up hill!) Em wasn't so happy in her back pack - and I had forgotton her dummy - so she need carrying and lots of songs on the way down! Grandma Janet has learnt all her songs very quickly!
From there the road trip really begun as Rob drove (what a star) round the East Coast/Cape. It was amazing all the desserted wild beaches and very very rural. This photo is only one example of the many wild animals that were wandering about - much to Emma's delight. Our destination was Gisbourne - where we enjoyed a couple of rainy days (not as bad as Auckland though!) We stayed right on the beach again. I also had the chance to catch up with Rach - a nursing buddy who is loving the life in Gizzy!
And then lastly we went onto to Taupo to catch up with Dale & Nell. And of course you can't visit Taupo without going to the Huka Falls and the Honey hive (shop and bees making honey..)
All in all we had a fantastic week. A big thank you to Skip for swapping cars with us - so we could travel with space! And also to Karen, Mike & Ava (and Martha the dog) for looking after the house and Dudley (who has just turned two!)
