Aunty Kathleen











We headed up to Tairua to see Aunty Kathleen and it was fantastic to see her. It was so good to catch up on all the family and realize time stands still for no one. We had a great time swimming at most of the beaches up that way. Weather was outstanding and at time too hot to move. Swimming was the main item on the agenda and so back to the bridge for loads of jumping. Hot Water Beach had the hot water, but the tide was also not as far out as it could have been. Cooks Beach and Hahei are still beautiful and although we did not find any land to buy it is still one of the most beautiful places on Earth. Aunty did alot of stuff in short amount of time including going to get pipis, swimming, sightseeing and walking. Eating and drinking are just compulsory anyway. It is always a nice reminder to see your country through others eyes, you just forget sometimes. So hoping I get to visit Kilsyth again.
