Goodbye NZ :(

We are back in London after a truly fantastic two months catching up with our family and friends in NZ. Here are some pics from the last ten days spent in Hatepe and Auckland.

After saying goodbye to Granny Di, Nana Raine, Auntie Jeck, Uncle Stu and cousin Issy...

... we headed north to Hatepe just south of Taupo. Great Great Aunt Flis was there...





... and my Grandpa Rich too!


He really made me laugh...
And look at me, standing up!
We went fishing...




(I was very good at steering)
... and had a picnic with a family of ducks at Cherry Bay...


Dad caught an ENORMOUS trout.

It was delicious.


We had the most amazing weather overall - especially in Coromandel and Taupo. Here's me and Dad heading out for a swim in Lake Taupo.





Last day in Taupo, we said goodbye to Flis...


... and then headed to Auckland where we caught up with Uncle Tom...

Great Aunt Ginny...


... and Gruncle Ray :)
I was also very lucky to meet little Molly Davidson...

... Mummy's friends Prue and Re, Molly's Mummy.



After a lovely farewell dinner with Grandma Dot and Grandad Don, Grandad Tony, Auntie Sarah, Uncle Nick and cuzzie Rainbow to be!, we flew out.

London is cold and every time I wake up it's still dark, very strange.

We miss and love you all very much. Thank you for an amazing holiday.
