Arrived in Papamoa at last and loving it!!
After 2 years of planning and preparation we have arrived in Papamoa. 
We have been here for 5 weeks and are living close to the beach. The weather has been warm and we feel like we are still on holiday. Christmas here has been much more low key than we are used to but has been very relaxing. Went to the beach on Christmas Day and walked up the Mount this morning. It has taken 3 weeks to get connected to the internet but we are now up and running (dial up only - still waiting for broadband). 
Looking for a good local butcher - any ideas?

Hello June, only joking we walked for an hour and a half to find Doug's shop on 23rd Dec to get our sausages for Christmas lunch. Your lovely daughter in law kindly gave us a lift home
