Last few days with Oma, Opa and Uri

We went over to see Mick and Amanda on the shore on Sunday so that Al and Doris could catch up with them after gosh only knows how many years!  Their kids Gracie and Tom were just gorgeous and Lilli had a fantastic time playing with them.

On Tuesday 11th I took Al, Doris and Elfriede to the Nikau Cave for a day trip. Mum had given them tickets to go through for Christmas. We had a great time. What an amazing cave. I will have to take other visitors there in the future. Much cheaper than Waitomo and more adventurous than the main cave.


Here's Elfriede at the Cafe entrance.

The carpark - it's out in the middle of nowhere - so far out that you start wondering if you missed it and should turn back!

Having a well earned beer afterwards at the cafe.

Back at home with our girl.

One last trip to Kariotahi beach for a run around with Lilli.

On Wednesday night we all went out to Agave Restaurant which is out at Kariotahi Beach and has exceptional views - and sun! We had a great last night together.

Then unfortunately on Thursday we had to say our goodbyes at the airport.  It was so sad saying goodbye.  We left Lilli with Nana and Pops as we thought it would be a bit too long a wait for her so Oma, Opa and Uri had already said their goodbyes to her at home.  :(

Bye guys...  see you again soon.  We love you.
