• Activity ticked off

    June 25 in New Zealand ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

    The forecast for today had not been too bright but the reality was something quite different 😅.
    The Tour guide had a cycle around the estuary in Orewa on her bucket list for sometime, so today was the day to tick it off. The pathway was wide in most places and a shared one with pedestrians. Sadly, pedestrians often don't seem to remember this as they waddle along all over the path with earpieces in listening to whatever and not able to hear a cycle bell ringing. However, we made the circuit without running anyone over. One thing we did discover on the ride was that everyone in this part of the country seems to have at least 1 dog 🐕 sometimes under control on a leash and other times wandering where it likes. We enjoyed the ride and pleased to have done it.
    We went looking for a cafe which apparently has amazing blue berry muffins. Although both the Tour guide and I had listened to the instructions on where to find it, something was missed in the translation and we never located it, but we have added that to the bucket list for another occasion 😉.
    As the rain was holding off we did the laundry at a laundromat which was in close proximity to where we are staying. That I guess you could say was another thing ticked off.
    We very much like Orewa and if circumstances were different, would find it a nice place to live. Maybe in another lifetime 😂.
