Rotorua




We had another jam packed day out today. We all enjoyed Rotorua Museum and after lunch we made our way to the hotpools for a good soak. As you will see Dad enjoyed a lovely mud bath ha ha!

Dragonfly




A beautiful dragonfly landed on Fraser's head.

Maclaren Falls





Today was again very hot so we headed to Maclaren Falls and enjoyed a refreshing dip.

Dad and Bob




Dad had a lovely time staying with Bob who has lived in Tauranga for 30 years. Joe loved playing with "Woody", Bob's dog.

Special Times

Mum and Dad's Bach




They had a lovely time in their cosy, little bach.

New Chums Beach






A 20 minute walk and we were at New Chums Beach which has been voted one of the top ten beaches in the world. The Narnia beach scenes were filmed here. It was fabulous and reminded us of parts of Greece.

Out of Water


We managed to run the water tank dry during our stay and Fraser's job was to climb up to check that the tank was empty.

Coromandel






We had a wonderful beach holiday for a week.

Birthday in Waihi






Well I got my wish this year, a summer birthday on the beach. I had a fantastic day and didn't want it to end.
