Saturday 27 Dec - We took a drive up to Mahia right at the top of Hawke's bay. There is a wild dolphin that has made the bay at Mahia it's home and plays with the swimmers. Whilst Dan and Lou were in the water it came swimming past and they were able to feel it as it swam around them! They were really pleased! This Mahia bay beach, and the kids are somewhere in this picture along with the dolphin.
The rest of the bay...... busy eh!
Then we headed off to a wavey beach for a spot of body boarding! Well they did we watched!
Huge driftwood on the beach..!
The Surfers....
Sunday 28 Dec - We fired up our huge BBQ. How we managed back in the UK on Homebase disposable 'throw a match' and watch it light ones I dunno! This one has 1 hot plate and a griddle. It also has a side gas ring...for heating baked beans maybe! Ours is by no means the best! Some come with built in sinks! So here's Tony with his toy.
He was especially greatful to the kids for getting him a nice shiny set of BBQ tools for Christmas.! The turning fork even has a bottle opener on the handle!
We spent New Years eve at some friends... Sitting outside sipping bubbly! Except the chaps were on bottles of Tui!
New Years Day - We headed off to Waipatiki Beach with a picnic. The temp was around 30C and the sky was blue hardly a cloud around! The sand was so hot that the kids had to run to the shoreline as they had decided to leave their shoes in the car! Against parental advice!! This is the busiest it gets here...
