So the weather is turning, we've had some rain, the leaves are turning brown, but it is still fairly warm. I had a lovely walk at Devonport, which I took the short ferry ride to from Auckland harbour. Great views and lovely beaches, was a very warm sunny day. I popped into a likely looking restaurant, had a great buffet lunch and as I was on my own was talking to all sorts of people who went past to collect their food. I either looked sad and lonely or friendly and worth talking to and was invited over to one group who were there celebrating a birthday - I had birthday cake and was even in their group photo. Lovely place with great views across water to Mount Rangitoto, will be going back there again (see link list).
Work still going well - I think they have worked out that I've done this before. All staff very welcoming, friendly and a bit mad so getting on fine!!
Planning a trip to the Bay of Islands in the next few weeks, promise will have photos after that. Thank you to all of you emailing and posting letters etc much much appreciated as feeling very removed and lonely at times, not helped by still no Internet or phone at home. I have however joined local library and there is free Internet, so that's a step in the right direction.
