The boys had a friend, Aine, with them for the day and it was particularly great for Alex as they got on so well. They never stopped talking, in fact it was about 10 pm. Alex then woke her up at 6.30 am to finish the conversation, poor thing.
The boys couldn't believe their eyes with a helicopter buzzing around no more than 20 feet off the ground. A local artist was creating a huge design in the sand and the helicopter was taking photographs.
The 'kite surfer' shot is for Ian Cording who is the only kite surfer I know. They have a regular TV show here called 'Piha Rescue' because so many people get into trouble on this coast and the surf was ridiculous. I have never seen surf like it and I do remember my hairdresser in Guernsey talking about the surf on the west coast. Fran says, 'Come on Grandad Cording, get your butt over here!'
They even have a coffee house here! I have never drunk so much coffee since we have moved here. Fran has over 10 different coffee cards and she is selective.
The kite surfing looks good - we'll have to come over and make the most of it! Grandad Cording is itching to try it out! xx
ReplyDeleteNever mind that, how about doing an in depth report on the coffee experiences? Much more interesting!!! If you want to tempt me to the other side of the world the quality of the caffeine is a top priority.
