Our first day Sunday 5th Jan - Kia Ora (Welcome)

Well we are here. Marc dropped us off at Heathrow and after a twelve hour flight, three hour transfer in Kuala Lumpur, then a nine hour flight we arrived here at Auckland.
We were very glad to see Loretta again at airport arrivals.bShe had borrowed a large estate vehicle from her brother to get us on our way and we were soon at her family's farm in Waihi. On the way, we stopped of at an old station cafe for refreshments.  The cafe is now part way along a new cycle trail.

            The plane touched down in a downpour in Auckland and it then rained during all of our 100 mile car journey to Waihi, to compensate though the temperature was a comfortable 24 C. 









We have not fully checked the bikes yet but so far they all look good. In the late afternoon we drove to Waihi Beach with Loretta to see the seaside just as the sun came out.
