winter holidays




We were off to Whitianga and sunshine....or so we hoped. After an early start on saturday we arrived in Waiouru to find ice on the ground, in fact I broke some. It looked just like pieces of glass. And there was heaps of snow on the mountains.
We stopped to have a look at the war museum. It was a great place to explore. We got to dress up and check out the big army tanks (just like the one I made at school).

Then it was onto Hamilton to stay the night with Ashlee and her little sisters Jesse and Stephanie. With 5 kids in the house it was a noisy night!

Then onto Whitianga the next day. Leicester and Nicola met us and stayed with us for a couple of nights. We caught the ferry across the harbour to Sawmill (?) Bay. The weather was lovely, for the middle of winter 16oC was great (and t shirt weather).
