Tuesday Spetember 10, Lake Tarawera NZ
Brrr....reflections in a wintery looking pond. |
It certainly hasn’t been a warm
welcome back to New Zealand with a cool artic blast coming through, leaving us with
a midday temperature of 6 degrees. Really noticing it after our European
summer.
We had an uneventful trip home
with a 12 hour stop in Singapore with a welcome shower and sleep in the transit
hotel. Took the opportunity to take the train from Terminal 3 to Terminal 2 and
check out the new Jewel area, with its amazing waterfall and trees. Only got a
view from the train as being out of the transit area we couldn’t stop but looks
really impressive.
It was great to catch up with all
the family over the weekend, including Heatherbelle who is doing well now after
catching some winter bugs. The grandsons have both shot up in the four months
we have been away, now as tall as Ian.
Arrived back at the lake Sunday
afternoon and lit the fire and it has been going every since. Ian woke Monday
with a raw throat and a full on head cold but so far I have managed to stay
healthy…guess one of us has to!!! Getting sorted out slowly and time to settle
down for awhile and look forward to some warm spring weather. And my last blog
entry….until next time!!!
