We had a little change of plan on the farm and we're now back in Ohakune, and at Canoe Safaris. We arrived back last Monday and after a couple of nights in the honeymoon suite aka room 1 upstairs, moved all of our stuff back into the room we had over the winter.
We're doing the same sort of thing, a bit of housekeeping upstairs and generally trying to help out wherever we can. Everything has been going fantastically, and it feels like we've never been away.
Today we went on a one day river trip with a French family and a couple of guides which was loads of fun. We put in to the river at Cherry Grove, Taumarunui, at about 9am and paddled down to the lavender farm for lunch and Robyn picked up a bar of soap and some lip balm stuff. After a nice picnic lunch we only had about half an hour to Ohinepane where the bus driver met us and drove us back to Ohakune.
The weather has been pretty good since we've been back, a nice change from the west coast, or the 'wet coast'. Earlier this week we did a bike ride to Rangataua Forest (number one on the leaflet). It was a really nice ride, very lush forest, and being used by the NZ Army for a training exercise!
This is a lovely photo. You should sell it to Canoe Safaris for advertising.
