A family visit in New Zealand

G'day Blogging maties,

The beginning of February saw D & B visit B's family in New Zealand. They were away for 4 whole days and we were packed off to Kelston Country Kennels. This first video was taken just after take off. That's the city of Sydney down there. D is trying to show you some of the famous landmarks but the sound of the plane is too loud so you might not hear her very well. You should be able to spot the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Opera House, Botany Bay in the background with the 2 Sydney airport runways jutting into it and some of the Eastern Suburbs beaches. The biggest is Bondi.

In this next video they are flying over the city of Auckland on the North Island of New Zealand. That is where they landed before hiring a car and driving to the family farm 1.5 hours south east of Auckland.

Here they are on the farm. There was a big family get together and we heard there was lots of yummy food. B's mum is now in a nursing home after her stroke last year but she was able to have the day on the farm as a special treat. They were able to wheel her around part of the farm so she could see her old stomping ground. She had a good day. The Border Collie in the piccie is Skye, one of the farm dogs.

On their last day there D & B took B's mum to a water park near the nursing home where she was able to feed some of the ducks and peacocks that live there.

What are you doing B....don't wheel my Nanna into the pond........

This is Sara. She lives on the farm and belongs to B's sister.

And this is Jess. She is one of the farm dogs and mother of Skye.

We hope you enjoyed the photos. Have a good week everyone.
