Stand back, Paul is about to light the barbeque for the first time!

The Water Gardens

This is the water gardens at Rapaura. This is also in the Coromandel Penninsular and quite a spiritual experience.

The Boat

(Pauls new toy!)
This is "Finisterra", our little boat....She's old, but sweet! We've had a few teething problems with her - the throttle cable jammed on our inaugural voyage, which was a bit scary, but Paul the mechanic has fixed her now (see, all those hours of fiddling with his motorbike paid off)
