Day 64

I am still very surprised when I write the day number!
This morning John and I went to Paraparaumu. Like I have said John is finally putting down roots so wanted to look at furniture. Interesting to see what is available.
We then walked along the beach and there were loads of boats and trailers of people away fishing or back in from fishing. Wonder what time they went out and if they had their full catch. Reminded me of Oreti Beach. Not many beaches are sandy and you can drive on them. Saw Kapiti Island reminded me of not being able to see the other mountains further up the island. Got to see some of it even with the clouds.
Young fella and his dad collecting wood to make an art work.
On the way back we stopped off at the memorial to the American Marines that were here in WW2. I thought I had been there but I don't think I had or don't remember it. I was surprised to read that there were 15,000 American troops here. That is a lot. I signed the remembrance book.
