We are at Whitianga in the Coromandel Peninsula with wonderful coves with beautiful beaches…have walked most of the day along the sand…warm weather with a warm rain…beautiful…Tamara left us yesterday and is back in Taiwan…she arrived safely…it was hard saying goodbye, but we did have a wonderful 3 weeks here in beautiful New Zealand with her…we are in the homeward stretch…here until Wednesday when we head back to Taranga…we are connecting with Andrea Reimer on Wednesday evening…and then we will be leaving for Vancouver on Good Friday. We are enjoying our laid back part of this holiday…but beginning to miss home and looking forward to sleeping in our own bed soon and connecting with our family and friends. Have made some wonderful new friends here that we know will last for a long time as well…
