Summer has officially started in New Zealand but we are still waiting for the weather to settle down! James has been really busy driving the canoe trips into and out of the river with plenty of school groups going at this time of year.
Luckily we had really nice weather last month for James’ birthday and had a mini break in Mt Maunganui at the beach. We had a great 3 days away in a hotel right on the harbour front and spent our time shopping, sitting on the beach and walking up the Mt itself.
Since then I have been on a river trip with my Auntie Julie who I hadn’t seen in 10 years. We went for 3 days along the Whanganui River. It was so much fun to catch up and get to know each other again. We did more laughing than paddling! And probably more eating and drinking too... The trip goes from Whokohoro to Pipiriki and takes in the Bridge to Nowhere on day 2, it’s an amazing trip. James and I have done it before last year, but this time there was me, Julie, 2 other women and our guide all in the one big boat.
Not long until Christmas time now although it doesn’t feel like it at all with it being summer, but still plenty of mince pies and Christmas films to enjoy!
