we left home at just after 6.30 this morning to get a decent parking spot for the tryathlon
we didn’t do too badly and had our breakfast watching the sun rise over the bay.
this little inflatable dingy went back and forth between a boat and shore, delivering bikes and some children. on one trip it brought a big baby’s buggy with an actual baby in. thankfully it didn’t drop overboard !
anyway, the girls did great, despite esther having nerves before hand
kezia was fearless and ran with a chum Emma from school
i didn’t quite have my camera sorted for esther, but did better with kezia. here she is after the swim
i didn’t see the cycling for either of them due to where i was standing and how jane and i divided our child catching duties
at the end of morning we collected the bikes and boxes. esther’s had fallen in a heap but all was good.
we found new zealand’s smallest cycle lane as we drove home
we celebrated the morning with burgers and fizzy pop
then this afternoon we had my friend sasha and his family round for afternoon tea which was jolly nice.
now we’re all exhausted and tired. there was a great sun set this evening, and of course we’ve been watching the giant moon !
