New Zealand Holiday

We had a lovely relaxing flight to Auckland and then went to visit the Tamu family for a few days. The last 6 weeks of partying had finally caught up with us all and we didn't do much except rest, relax and catch up with our friends. We were not used to the cold, so staying indoors was a great idea. It was also good that no activities were planned because Dylan got a severe ear infection and spent the second day in hospital on a drip and the following 2 days resting.

This was pretty much Lyndon and the kids for 2 days, watching movies and taking it easy.

Time to move on to Aunt Elwyns', where we had 3 days to do a spot of shopping, some sight seeing, and more relaxing. After 4 days of heavy duty drugs and a final check up at the hospital, Dylan was back to normal and ready to enjoy the last few days of his holiday.

Down at the marina we saw the Italian entry into the next Americas Cup, which was in Auckland for trials.

Off to Snowplanet again for a few hours on the slopes

It was early in the day and they pretty much had the run to themselves

Elwyn and I had the good sense to stay indoors in the cafe with the fireplace and coffee
