Otaki Taku Awa.....

Yep, The Lad came back to get us after all ;o) Lucky he wasn't in time for breakfast though, because L10 and Poppa made Nigella Lawson's Hotcakes for breakfast and we had them with maple 'flavoured' syrup - he's so fussy about having 'actual' maple syrup, and not 'maple flavoured' syrup!


We had just packed our morning tea and drinks and were getting ready to walk out the door when he did arrive, so after a quick hello we decided that since we now had our car back, we'd venture further than the stream down the road. We traipsed off to Otaki River for a swim with some of the cuzzies - there's something about a (bloody cold!) stoney bottomed river, don't you reckon?:
