From Zoe:

Harriet- the food on the plane was yuk

Hugo- were the hot pools cool?

Carl & Moutere - yes we are enjoying Spain. Yesterday we bought bikes from the supermarket (you buy EVERYTHING from the supermarket here)... we rode them home and then along the promanade to daddy's work. It took us an hour to get there, but it was on bike paths the whole way. My brother rode into a tree (and also into the back of the legs of a spanish lady on the way back) because he wasn't looking! It is great fun though. The weather has been much better the last few days. There is a very cool playground playground at the beach. There is a huge rope spider web which you can climb. I will try and take a photo of it today.

Love Zoe

I went to the Maitai dam today and it was fun and we went to the Centre of New Zealand. And we went in a tunnel which had red stuff all over it. Missing you.
Love Harriet

The biking sounds fun.
We had a great time at the Maitai Dam yesterday.
Jack is back from Australia today. He got to touch a brown snake he said it felt like plastic on the top and slimey on the bottom. Are there snakes in Spain?
We think your washing line is funny!
Grace can count to 10 in spanish. Harriet wants to know the word for pig? How do we say water and friend?
Keep safe and have fun.

Transport

This is the best way to visit daddy - 45 min bike ride down the promonade. You have to look out for trees and spanish ladies (Hunter found out!!)

Gullivers Travels

Gullivers Travels
In the old river Turia (river redirected long ago after continuous flooding) there are lots of playgrounds and bike tracks. The kids are playing on a huge giant Gulliver. There are lots of slides and stairs and ropes to climb. If you look hard you can see Gullivers head behind - the kids are standing on his arm.

The Spider Web

The Spider Web
A huge rope spider web on the beach is very cool to climb up (Mum only spent a very SHORT time at the top!!!)
