So we haven't posted anything in a while, so here goes....
Robyn now has a paid job at Ohakune Primary school, which has just finished for half term. She now goes in 2 days a week, one paid and one voluntary. She seems to be getting on very well and is pretty keen to look into teaching longer term. It's school holidays now though so she has a couple of weeks off. Not long left at Kings for her now, then she'll be spending more time down here with Simon and I.
We managed to get to a RWC game a few weeks ago in New Plymouth. We saw Ireland v USA, which Ireland won. It wasn't such a brilliant game, but good to be part of something as big as RWC while we are here. Nobody knows what will happen here if the All Blacks don't win, we may have a day of national mourning.
I've now got all the drivers licences I need for the summer so I can carry passengers and drive the Canoe Safaris buses, now we have two. Canoe season is slowly picking up meaning I can earn a few more $ this year doing drop off/pick up from the river trips.
This week we had a trip to Rotorua and did some mountain biking in the Redwood Forest which is a beautiful place. Robyn had a bit of a tumble off her bike while tackling a grade 3 track called 'Genesis', the original mountain bike track in Rotovegas. She dusted herself off and did a spot of tree hugging as you can see. We then stayed the night at Simon's new house in Matamata, then had a stop in Taupo on the way back down to carrot town.
