We are finally settled in the house on Eastern Beach. We moved in on Monday, and as is usual, we are still cleaning after the commercial cleaner finished. For the life of us, we cannot figure what she spent all her time cleaning. The house is owned by a couple in the UK and they only use it as a holiday house. They don't come over every year, so for the most part, it is a rental. It shows. All that said, the views are unbelievable! As I am typing this, I am looking out across the road to the beach and then the ocean. Pretty incredible. On Saturday, Bec and I went to the outlet mall, yes who knew, and then to One Tree Hill. One Tree Hill is a fabulous park and in the center is the top of an extinct volcano, called One Tree Hill. Unfortunately, they lost the one tree, and so now it is No Tree Hill. Any way from the top, you have an unobstructed view of all of Auckland laid out before you. Coast -to-coast, north to south.
They also have a wonderful restaurant. We had the lamb shank and it was delicious.
On Sunday we took in a movie at Newmarket. Seems that when you buy your ticket, you also chose your seats. Reserved seat at the movie theater.
Today, we were off for a bit of shopping, hangars, etc., etc. Bec took the wheel for the first time and did a terrific job. Probably the result of watching an expert for all these many days.
What a life! I wish I can be there.
