Cathredral Cove
This is the Giant's Chair, built below a "castle" house about a 5 minute walk along the coast from our house.
Cathredral Cove with our next-door neighbors, the Clint and Alyson Gurney.
Standing under the arch at Cathedral Cove. This a where part of Prince Caspian, the movie, was filmed. (We have never seen the movie). Apparently in the movie, the children walk through the arch.
New Zealand Birds
The Pukeko Bird- The blue and red one I sent you in the "Taste of New Zealand" package. They are quite aggressive birds- They did not like me running through the park and actually tried to peck at my legs, but I was too fast for them!
A mother black swan with her chicks. I had never seen a black swan until we came here, but we see tons of them on a lake near to us (a 15 minute walk), Lake Pupuke, which is a beautiful volcanic crater lake.
Takapuna Christmas- 2008
For those of you who are interested, here a few pictures of the inside of our condo at Christmas. This is our living room with its view!
Our dining room table set for Christmas Eve dinner.
Our "breakfast nook" table and tree. One disappointment at Christmastime here is that it is the longest days of summer, and you hardly ever get to see your Christmas lights. By the time it is dark, it is 10 pm and our bedtime!
Part of our little kitchen.

Adelaide, Australia Young Single Adult Convention
Fireworks in Sydney, Australia
Sydney Opera House
This is the striking Sydney Opera House. Taken from the ferry we took to see the harbor. The Sydney Harbour is one of the most beautiful harbors in the world, and the largest natural harbor in the world. Most of the industrial areas and ugly shipping areas have been moved to other ports.
Grandma in front of the opera house. We attended the "New Year's Eve Gala!- a mix of favorite opera and Broadway tunes with vocalists and the Sydney Orchestra. After the concert, we stood on the balcony and watched the fireworks.
