arrived 18 sept
visited waiwera, with a great hotel pool...and a total surprise...dan set a high standard for himself...
also met part of dan's extended family in napier...on the way to napier we stopped at candyland, not too far from hamilton...heaven!! his cousin anne has the cutest 5 month old, tafia...dan was great with tafia, he spent more time with him than almost anyone else...endless patience for bouncing him up and down and up and down, over and over again...played golf, which isn't a surprise...
also visited rotorua, or rottenrua...smells like sulfur at times, but everything is geothermally heated, which is fantastic...we spent hours in the hotel pool...played more golf...
next was tauranga, more golf and climbing to the top of mt i cant remember the name...
more golf in waihi, after seeing hot water beach and somewhere just north of that...
golf in hamilton, for free...waitakere is a sister course of lochiel...dan got mad and ended up breaking the shaft of his driver...whoops...rain and wind were making me miserable...visited waitomo caves, they're awesome...the glow worms are beautiful...though two girls in the boat kept talking...
celebrated my birthday by going to gilmours, and buying way too many lollies...can't wait to do it again...also, dinner with amy, ivan and jess...
