Today, we finally made it to the Botanical Gardens downtown. They were beautiful, the roses and dahlias were in full bloom. There were lots of boaters "punting" down the Avon River which winds through the park. We had a good walk and then.. .it was on to the Northlands Mall where we enjoyed a lunch of delicious Indian food and shopped at The Warehouse, NZ's equivalent of Wal Mart.
It was very warm today, 34 or translated, about 98 degrees. We headed back to the house for a little rest before having a lovely barbeque dinner with Natasha & Jonathan Cargill and Corey and Renee Watkinson and all of their children. We had steak, kebabs, sausages and venison. Natasha even baked a Pavlova with fresh raspberries on it. Beautiful and delicious. We enjoyed the warm evening visiting, exchanging stories, and you know Ron, he can story with the best of them! It's been a great visit from the start. Tomorrow evening we head to Raro.
