Christmas 2009

It has been and gone now but it was a good one - apart from not having Sam and Phillip here!!

Maurie and I fetched Thomas from Hamilton on the Wednesday and on Christmas Eve , as if by magic, a tree appeared in the lounge and was ably decorated by Waitapu and Lucy.

We had a quiet day, and were joined by Adrian Stevens for a late lunch. Weather was superb and it was great to sit outside to eat, drink, chat, laugh - generally to enjoy the company of a great bunch of people.

Santa did manage to visit, and as usual, his delegat ( in the form of Maurie) ably assisted by his charming fairy-like sidekick ensured we all received some goodies.

Its been along time ....

Well I think I can forget the rest of the adventure race post for now - most has disappeared from the hard drive anyway!! Well the rest of the year was pretty much same old same old so will begin anew!

In November we once again biked around the lake. The photos show the view from the house we stayed in taken in the early morning, the rest are post race and we are obviously having in depth post race discussions and planning tactics for next year!!

What else would you do on a fine weekend in Rotorua??
