We enjoyed a sleep in today till 7.30am. Our first port of call was the markets where we saw Harry, Sophie and Brittany buying gifts and looking at all the amazing and different things there.
We headed North to Bourail to visit the New Zealand Memorial Cemetery. It is situated in the most beautiful peaceful setting looking out over the valley. It is very well maintained. As we walked around the graves a sadness was felt for all the families who lost such young boys who were buried so far from home. Baz then felt like checking out the surf beach so we ventured a few kms out to the coast. This beach is also where the Turtles come to breed during the wet season which is November to April. It was then time to make our way back to the city as there are no cafes or other such civilised places up there!
We had a lovelt traditional Bougne at one of the teachers houses last night and tonight we have been invited for dinner to the Principal Madame Mezouar's.
Bill heads back home to NZ tomorrow morning with an early start. He is not looking forward to facing the cold in Taupo.
