Greetings from an internet cafe in Kataia. We just arrived from Kelly's Bay and two days of fishing (see photo of fresh snapper). We spent our first weekend looking around Auckland (photo of Auckland harbor) and traveled to Kelly's Bay on Monday with brother John where we met brother Bob with his boat. 42 snapper ($42/KG in the shops) in 2 days of fishing...great fun! This weekend we will travel to Cape Reinga which is the northern most point in NZ and drive most of the way back to Kataia on 90 Mile Beach (literally a 90 mile long beach that cars and tour buses drive on). The weather changes hourly from warm and humid to drizzling and humid. I will get one more entry posted before leaving Kataia. The photo on the left is Kelly's Bay and on the right is Auckland Harbor looking toward Sky City (downtown). I have temporarily misplaced the photos of the snapper and will try to include them in a future post

Hi - great to hear from you! Mom read it, too, so we are all caught up on your activities. The snapper catch is astounding - what fun. In fact, everything sounds fun, including the 90 mile beach drive. Again, happy birthday to Marie!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!
I hope you have a wonderful day! Sounds like you are having great fun.
Love you

Happy Happy NZ Birthday, MOM! We're thinking of you today and tomorrow for your American birthday. Sounds like you're doing great and enjoying yourselves. Enjoy some fresh fish--yum! We just arrived home from picking up Grandma and seeing Kathy. It was pouring today so the weather was not nearly as nice as our last jaunt south. Had a yummy burger, though and loved seeing Kathy. We (Kristen, Grandma and me) had a great drive home and the weather improved as we drove north (go figure.) We love you and look forward to more pictures! xoxoxo
