On Saturday afternoon we went to Devonport, which is a pretty suburb on the North side of Auckland, which means it is across the bridge. We went to an old fort, and did a geocache there, but again Linsley was having a fit because it is all on a pretty steep hill, and Logan just runs and could fall and disappear pretty quickly, which means constant watching and catching and helping etc. The weather was iffy, but fortunately did not rain, although it threatened to a number of times. Beautiful views from up there back toward Auckland city, and good to see all the yachts and boats in the harbour etc. That evening we took a take-away supper to the beach at Mission Bay, and the wind was blowing like mad, and it looked really pretty with kite surfers on the waves.
On Sunday morning Margie had to go to the funeral for the father of one of her colleagues. The poor girl is only 26, and now both her parents have died, and her in-laws have also passed away recently. As the sun was shining in the afternoon we could finally walk across to the miniature railway setup 10 minutes walk across the lagoon from Margi's house. We met Scott and Grace and Roy there, and the 2 kids - and their parents - had fun riding on the trains. Evidently it is the first time Logan rode on the train without being scared. Afterwards we walked them to a park on this side of the lake, and the kids had fun there too.
Margi took leave today and tomorrow, and Brent and Cheryl came for tea this morning. This afternoon we just mosied around, and went to a couple of shops etc. This is really only done on a 'need to go' basis, as Logan loves running around, and to get as far as possible from whoever is trying to look after him.
We leave here tomorrow to go to Hong Kong for 3 days, and I am sure we will not have access to a laptop there, so I will only be able to finalise this blog on our return home next Monday. Cheers for now.
