New Zealand - Family time! (16th Jan)

We arrived in Hamilton on the evening of Monday 15th Jan after Nancy (Julie's sister) picked us up from Auckland. Nan and Steve are great hosts and have a full itinerary set for us. The next day (Tuesday) was spent getting our bearings. (Hamilton has changed a lot since we were last here 10 years ago.) After some shopping and a dink in the re-furbished local 'The Cook'...........

........we watched Steve and Ethan playing cricket...........

before a lovely barbeque, and we met Sid (who is named after Julie's Dad!)

Nancy had also bought Julie a wonderful present of a 'Pandora' bracelet, which was a lovely gift - someone is very pleased!!!
