Spent some time with the Wilde Kids and one of the neighbours at breakfast, said goodbye to them and to Justin as they pottered off to school. Claire got off to work and I got the washing hung out with Pam (Claire’s Mum) then had a nice walk into town with Pam, dropped her off at the Lyceum club (private members place) where she was meeting some friends at choir practice before going off for lunch. I went for a wander around Tauranga and a quick peak into a couple of shops, window shopping only as I have no space in my bag which is rammed to the gunnels - typically I got lost heading back to Claire’s when I completely lost my bearings but then reversed course until I found the right direction. Managed to get back at 12 in time for lunch at Rosie’s with Claire. Lovely bakery bistro very full but we managed to squeeze on the end of a table. Beef, beetroot and horseradish melt for me followed by a shared Blueberry and white chocolate slice. Walk back to the house and car and said my goodbyes to Claire and Drove on to Hastings via Rotorua and Taupo again! I hate saying goodbyes to friends when I know it may be years until I see them all again. But sad goodbyes are often followed by joyful greetings and so it was as I arrived in time for a Family dinner - Ads,Ellie and Maddie we’re there with Mick and Sandra and Becks arrived after dinner. We had a chat over a wine glass or three then went to bed.
