The Gut Buster

Sorry no photos today either. I think that’s because we were always in areas involving children or swimming pools or supermarkets (where you are not allowed to take photos it seems).

Signed the girls up for school today and they are going to start tomorrow! We had to get their uniform, which they found very funny, never having had to wear one before. There are funny culottes for the bottom half, they had never even seen any of those before. Watch out for some photos tomorrow. So we will show up tomorrow and be told which classes they are in.

We then had a tour of a posh school, a possible secondary school choice, which was very impressive as one would expect.

Since the girls will not longer be on holiday after today we went to some thermal pools in Waiwera this afternoon as a treat. The pools were lovely and warm, the outside air was not, which made it challenging for the adult who was on duty watching the girls go down the flumes. The flumes had great names, like Bob’s Mistake and the Gut Buster. The pools are heated by a thermal aquifier 1500 m below the resort. The natural temperature of the water is 50 degrees celcius. Most of the pools were 32 – 40 degrees.

(here’s a sneaky picture dave took of the water works.  note the crocodile sign)

    Love to Esther and Kezia as they start their adventurous bit.
    Hope they quickly and easily make new friends, while remebering their Best friend – Jesus – is taking special care of them.
    love to all. R&A

    what labels are you putting in the uniform. Are you labeling all the bits so that the girls know what each bit is?
