After a lovely week catching up of spa days, hot pool swims and many hours of catching up, Janine headed back to Brisbane to complete the sale of her business and become a travelling lady of leisure!
2 days late Malcolm's old friends form Uni days, Bob and June arrived to stay for a long weekend at the start of their 3 week tour of NZ, again lots of catching up and reminiscing!
We went up to Hahei our favourite place in the Coromandel (nothing to do with the fact that the backpackers is right next to a micro brewery of course!). The sea food platters were delish!
This time Steve and Jen had lent us the 2 man canoe so we did some serious (or Shona thought it was tough!!) canoeing to see Cathederal Cove, snorkelling in stingray bay and into the huge blowhole. Our exit from the beach was pretty cool calm and collected, unlike when Malcolm and Bob tried it later - sorry no photos was laughing too much!!
We popped over to Whitianga on the wee ferry and saw this HUGE blue marlin being weighed and photographed, it was 186kg (no idea who the random lady is, and it is not blood on her tee shirt just a red design!!)
