Time with some old friends - Yay!
Second Raglan weekend
11.01.2011 - 16.01.2011
28 °C
We were lucky enough to have old friends who live in Auckland to visit us this weekend. Lindy and Marty, who played rugby with Phil at the University of Waterloo, spent Saturday night at a motel down the street. It was great to spend time together, and we enjoyed some sauvignon blanc, a nice al fresco fish meal, a walk on the beach, and other similar pastimes. Although we live across the world from each other, we still have a lot in common. Lindy also introduced us to friends of hers who live in Raglan and may be able to help Phil find a place to live after I go home.
We have gone to a surfing beach most days this week. Phil rented a board a few times and did quite well. I have enjoyed long beach walks and dips in very warm tidal pools.
We will be leaving Raglan tomorrow and heading to Napier and Hawkes Bay. We are hoping to sample more wine and even ride a tandem bike between vinyards...stay tuned!
