Thank you Lena and Lauchie for the fantastic weekend I had with you in your wonderful home. You really made me feel welcome and I enjoyed the time to the full at your home. My room was very comfortable and the house is just a stunner. Casaoakura is just a 2 min drive from the local beach (perfect for a surf) and has a wonderful garden. We shared dinner and had some great discussions. On top, Lauchie took me on a bike tour and showed me the magnificent Taranaki region. Thank you Lena and Lauchie, I cant wait to come back.
