Thursday 20th November- Kaitai and Maitai Bay
We had some minor jobs to do today in Kaitai and so we headed off to find the post office and also the library. A quick walk around the shops and noel bought some cheap slippers to wear about the house as he forgot to bring his.
On the way back we stopped at a large roadside shop selling vegetables which always seem to be busy and then another important technical stop at Anui Junction for an ice cream.
Maitai bay we have visited before when we were here last time and it’s a very beautiful bay and very quiet and relaxing. We met a couple of retired folks on Maitai beach who had been at the camp site there for two weeks to get away from the crowded city of Pahia??? And they said that there was a very warm summer ahead with temperatures due to hit around 32 degrees, sounds good Aye?
We were there for about an hour walking around and taking some photos and then headed back to Taipa where Noel left the car and walked the last mile home and took some photos enroute of the flowers. Thank heavens his left leg is getting better after all the exercises and compared to when we were in Auckland its much better.
The sun was burning down all afternoon and the temp is quite warm and a quiet evening ahead was planned. In the meantime it looks like we may have solved the broadband capacity challenge as thanks to Brian phoning this morning I have been able to increase the capacity and this should take effect within the next day or so and that this should allow us to get back on line with our Phanfare photo blog again
