After a 14 hour flight from Canada we made another ‘safe landing’ at Lynda’s cozy little haven where we were able to get some much needed rest. Lynda communicated helpful driving options to us and was even watching to wave us into her driveway when we were looking around to check the house number. She had lots of suggestions for places to eat and even hunted down a newspaper article for us about the newly opened cave system in Waipu. We had a relaxing sleep in this very quiet location, and really enjoyed the breakfast Lynda had left for us.. lots of choices, including cereal, yogurt, and a selection of jams and butters for toast. We enjoyed our coffee sitting outside watching the expected downpour of rain. Sadly, we didn’t get time to stay on and enjoy the beautiful beach so close by… next trip perhaps!
Thanks Lynda for getting our NZ tour off to a great start!
