Waitangi Treaty - Are you going to pay the $25 to go in? We didn't think I'll read about it instead.

We are mostly going to the lantern fesitval in Albert Park. looking forward to it.

We'll be doing the Coromandel loop backwards on the bike, then fishing, then drinking, then eating, then more drinking, then drinking a bit more, then camping, then heading home.......the scenic bumpy way

Some of it I'll be working but I don't mind because it's my own business and I'm enjoying it. Will drag myself away to vacuum the floor at some stage. Maybe visit a diy store. One of the good things about being self employed is I can have a day off when I like. Yay!

[QUOTE We are mostly going to the lantern fesitval in Albert Park. looking forward to it.[/QUOTE]

We will also be going to the Lantern Festival at Albert Park, Auckland. Take public transport there is no parking near there and the roads get packed. We also hope to go and walk the 'Te Henga' walkway out in the Waitakeres.

Lets hope the weather is good

We have been warned thats its probably going to be 3-5 years before we know whether we will be a rebuild or a repair, hence the move to Melbourne..
