Today at 5.45AM Sharon, Mike, Frankie and Sonny arrived in New Zealand. Jes went to pick them up from the airport and bring them back here. Joe and Millie were very excited to have our first guests and had even drawn some posters in celebration. Sadly they also brought the torrential rain with them. The weather had been threatening to change for the past few days but the day they arrived the rain and gales came and stayed for the duration of their stay in Auckland. Despite the weather we decided to visit Waiheke Island. We caught a bus to Britomart, lunch at a Mexican restaurant and then a ferry to Waiheke. Fortunately the rain held off until we were on the bus when it pelted it down. When we got off the bus the sun came out and stayed out until we were on the ferry when again it poured down.
Our afternoon on Waiheke was really good. We wandered up to the town avoiding some raindrops. We managed to find a little cafe for a coffee with a beautiful view over one of the beautiful beaches. 
We spent a couple of hours playing on the beach. 
That evening Sharon and Mike, with some help from Jes, began planning their Kiwi trip. A few beers were quaffed while the boys sat at the very 1980's bar in our lounge area. It's only one step up from Jack and Vera's bar and has to be seen to be believed!
