Holiday Over

Only hours left of our holiday! Yip we shot over to the Gold Coast, Australia for a few days holiday and also had a couple of days off since returning. Very nice.

We were a little worried heading out as only days before Joss and I both got hit with a bug requiring bowls at both ends – I guess you get the picture. So having had colds for a good 4 weeks prior, then only days before to be stuck in bed (in between frequent visits to the bathroom), we were worried. But it all worked out well in the end.

We all travelled well and crashed once we got there in the evening. After a good sleep we were up in shorts and t-shirts making the most of the lovely weather. You could tell the locals, they were wrapped up warm, where as most holiday makers were in shorts. The sea was not warm enough to swim in (in our opinion, although there were plenty out there). But the beach was beautiful and we spent hours there. Brook transformed back into his old fun self, having little energy with his cold.

We caught up with Jenny (Cam’s sister) who lives in Brisbane. She is going very well there and it was great to catch up. We also ran into John and Pauline (Joss’s Uncle and Aunt). Funny you have to go to Oz to run into family from back home (Auckland admittedly, so not just around the corner).

And tomorrow, it is back to work. At least it is for one day then we have the weekend. That was partly planned – I aim to return just before the weekend as it gives you a day to clear the email then you get a break. But this time I have some financial year end processing to do to, so it worked out well.

Later, Cam.
