Well - you've got to make the most of these things!
Racing doesn't start until the 23rd June with the comencement of the America's Cup.
So we've got to fill in the time somehow!
We are planning to visit Rod's aunt in Scotland (via some friends in London and Newcastle)..and will be back on 21 June.
We have started saying good bye to some lovely friends we have met during our stay. Particularly a few from Victory Challenge ..... only Kiwis and Swiss left now!
We are looking forward to a few more visitors when we return from the UK.
Major excitement today - Hunter has touched the bottom of the swimng pool! He is now happily jumping off the side of the pool and putting his head under....... (a milestone for a boy who wouldn't get his hair wet 6 weeks ago!)
Zoe is "hyperventilating" at the thought of spending a day in Hamley's toy store in London.....
Hope you all have a good week.
Love,
J,R,Z and H

TeamNZ, Monday 7 May
Readying for the start of race 6, south course. Emirates Team NZ whizz past the media boat.
We love Valencia Oranges!
The apartment
Apratment living (all 580 odd of them)
Arriving at Valencia train station
Finally there!
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
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
A huge rope spider web on the beach is very cool to climb up (Mum only spent a very SHORT time at the top!!!)
The playground
It's not so bad having your cousins to play with every day!
The Bell Tower (Cathedral)
Zoe took this picture of us on top of the Bell Tower- Easter Sunday
Views from the Bell Tower
Glad we were there at 1pm and not 12 noon. The bell chimes on the hour.

PS- Hi Sheryl,
What bummer! I am pretty sure we are back 16th or 17th (I must check with Rod and sight the tickets myself as to the exact date). Hope you are well. We have been meaning to give you guys a call on Skype one night...I know it sounds slack but we have been busy with visitors etc and things are heating up for the Cup. Take care..and we will attempt that call soon. Love, Janine
Hi Guys
i am guessing you are playing with all the cool stuff you brought at Hamley's? Isn't it just the coolest shop!
I will probably stay up to watch the first race tonight but might fall asleep on the couch!
What an exciting day I would love to be there to watch the team go out to the course- how awesome.
Zoe you will have to give the team a special shout for me.
Enjoy the days you have left in Spain they are going to go really
quickly!
love Raewyn
