Today we have accompanied Christoph back to the airport. This ex classmate of Lucas from Schwäbisch Hall was a really pleasant guest in our house, and we had a nice time all together. Five teenies have inhabited our house for the last five weeks: Clara, Valentina, Lucas, Christoph and Luis, if none of their friends were here for a visit.
Felix and Daniel, our little ones, were sometimes in danger to play only a minor role. Making use of that we had someone here we had to show around we drove to two of the most beautiful beaches of the East coast, to Miranda thermal hot pools, to Auckland and so forth. Today in Auckland we had T-shirt weather again, giving us a taste of the upcoming spring.
As we will be eight for the next 10 months at least (after Valentina from Chile, Teresa will come, our kid's cousin from Spain), we decided to buy a big white 8-seater, which you can see on two of the photos (white is our favourite "colour" for cars), and said Goodbye to our good "old" Honda Odyssey.
The photos show one of the Coromandel beaches, Pauanui, and a batch a kind friend gave us to stay in for a night; our new car, my workplace in Coromandel on the first picture (Te Korowai Hauora O Hauraki), and other moments I liked to catch and save in these days.... Unfortunately the order get's pretty mixed up by uploading the photos, I don't know why and how that happens...
