Two - One

VERY EXCITING!
What a great race of tactics. We thought we had lost it after rounding the last mark....but the boys played a great race back to win. Fantastic!
Let's hope it's 3-1 by the end of the day.

We had taken a heap of photos of "out and about" the village ...but they have mysteriously disappeared off my camera. We will try and get some more for you today.

Wow, you guys are having amazing time as we prepare to return to metropolis of otago (fill u in later). Can't believe you missed talking to Naomi but sounds like your time was much better spent. We are watching eagerly every morning on the TV with Laura competing against Peter Montgomery...tell he has a strong contender for his role!!! Don't watch the Bledisloe....disaster. Love the de bono's

Bummer!! And we were doing so well on the first two legs. Still, it's not over yet!! Thought we could have had at least one win overnight, but not even the All Blacks could come up with one. Still, the Giants are kings!! Enjoy the sun, it's rain, rain and more rain here.
Love
Mum

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!!!)

Glad we were there at 1pm and not 12 noon. The bell chimes on the hour.
