A Few Days of Rest

Hi,

Sorry it's been a couple of days with no word, but there really hasn't been much to report! As I have been a bit flu-ey we have been taking it easy in the comfort of Malcolm and Fiona's lovely home, with their Sky TV (NZ's version of Foxtel), haha, well not ALL day! lol.

We (Bohdi) have also done some stuff on the car, replacing a tyre, changing the oil, sorting out our insurance, etc. So it has been good to have a couple of days just to relax, and get all sorted. Apart from that, we have caught up with my cousin Mark, who I haven't seen in I don't know how long, and met his girlfriend Nicole, which was great. Today was probably our most eventful, as we did finally did the walk up The Mount, (of Mt Maunganui), which was a lovely walk but not nearly as easy as Uncle Malcolm made it out to be!! I'm far more inclined to agree with Nicole, who said she nearly died after 15mins!!! It was pretty steep. Fortunately we made it, just in tome for the sunset, which made for an amazing view.

Well we are going to see what happens with the van tommorrow, as Boh still has a couple of things to check out, and then head off to Rotarua and Lake Taupo, before going down to Wellington.

So more soon,'

Beautiful horizon as we were walking down.

A scary part of then track.



The view around the bay.

The lovely sunset from the summit.
