Friday arrived with no real plans for the weekend - not like us, but when it's only been 4 days since out last excursion with on-calls mixed in there 2 it's no surprise. So when we got home we packed a few things for all eventualities and got in the car with a map book. Decided to head over to Mount Mauganui, Simon drove whilst I rang the places in the Lonely Planet looking for a place to stay - Managed to have a bit of time to go for a drink or 2 when we got there.
Up to a beautiful day on Saturday - headed out to hire some snorkel gear and hit the sea. Really great way to spend a day.
Saturday we did the same as the night before but headed down to Rotarua for a day. Booked into a cheap hostel for the night and headed out for amazing steak and some drinks watching the All Blacks beat the Wallabies.
On Sunday we managed to get ourselves booked into the polynesian spa for my amazing birthday present from Tom (an hour's mud wrap and massage) followed by use of the natural geothermal pools set at different temperatures. After getting out of the spa I realised I had 4 missed calls from Gem......thats a bit weird!! Finally, she tracked me down whilst I was having lunch to give me the news that she is now engaged! Amazing news just wish I could see her.....well I will in a week! Don't know how I'll be a decent chief bridesmaid from over here though, will prob need a little help from home.
Sunday afternoon was spent in the stunning weather - going for some beautiful walks around Rotorua. And we even managed to fit in some cray golf (I won - not sure where that puts us in the Bara/Malpo world series. I'm thinking that I'm winning)
Another awesome weekend...roll on the next!
