South Waikato Update

Hello everyone again. It's been a while since I've been on here and a lot has happened in the last wee while.

Last week Hannah came up for a week to hang out in Tokoroa with me. She had some homework etc to work on during the day while I was at the mill and she was also CV dropping in some of the local businesses looking for work for the Christmas break. All going well she'll be a South Waikato resident for a couple or three months in the summer, which will be great. On the Wednesday, she managed a site tour in the afternoon before we headed off to Raglan for 3 nights. The weather really played the part by being very sunny and very clear skies. We managed to visit the local cafes and went on a couple of the walks around the area. The beaches are awesome there. Well renowned for the surfing too. Also had a look around Hamilton and went for a walk through some of the themed gardens there. Here is a photo of us in the "Italian" themed garden. Very nice thing to do on a nice day.

Really looking forward to some skiing soon. I am a bit wary that my car probably wouldn't make it up to the slopes, so I a currently waiting on some work collegues to take their 4WD up so I can tag along. Might need to look into a bus or something if I don't get any luck soon.

Well, sounds like there were great trips all around. I am getting inspired by all the travelling. Am hoping to head Europe way after a few years at the mill. Sounds like you had a very full on trip Grandma! Will be great to catch up with you some time to see some photos or atleast hear some stories. And sounds like your trip Barb and Ash was awesome! The cultural differences are starting to interest me also, so it's great to hear where you can go to get a taste!

Work is fine, projects coming along nicely.

Take care everybody.
Matt
