We got up too late but I had a little headache. Our friends and we stay for the day to go sea kayaking We take the opportunity to finish what must be done in the last minute. Our second car is still not sold, but we have someone who comes to see her in half an hour. S it is sold, but it comes up tomorrow because it has no money with him. We will already be gone all the papers we leave to our friend, she will pay us money on the account before we get to fly. Super busy and tiring day but it's nice. In a moment we will return again with our old neighbors to bring them the last papers that we have forgotten and to say goodbye last night because we did not seen too much. Ultimately they do not, we leave the papers in the mailbox and we will see them again. Last night in Bethelem, I do not realize that tomorrow we start again for another adventure to the NC but before we stay two days to visit Auckland on the North Island.

Last day before we complete the bags, canteens, the last formalities of paper. And we go get our daughter to her best friend. Still a difficult farewell to Nicola who had tears in his eyes. Took the last pictures, exchange messages and then we return with our former neighbors Jane and Gareth. Recent explanations on their blogs that Greg has put in place then direction opposite to the famous party and in again. Grand buffet with barbecue, a lot of alcohol and fireworks for 50 years of my neighbor. My last evening in English and I finally spoke after a lot drunk (which is not my habit). We met other people who plan to visit us in NC, the door open if you have space. Our neighbors have also planned to visit us next summer and the winter holidays daughters can spend a week or two in a French environment. There was of course Bobby, the mistress of Natasha who wished us a safe journey and stayed all night and with other children. The evening ended around 1 am.
The week passed very quickly especially since I had to get girls to school and back, I had not used since they took the bus before. For the last class day of Natasha introduced its release in Auckland: several museums, the skytower, Rongitoto (active volcano), and others ... along with drawings and performances. While his class was on Auckland, we were in the South. Natasha has presented what she saw. (Whale, penguin and fox glacier). After this demonstration we recover our children, but Natasha does not come with us she goes with his girlfriend spend one last day together. Another friend was to join them but the last minute she recassé the arms, in tears she bade farewell to Natasha and went to the hospital. We retrieved all cases of school girls that I scanned, drawings and report cards for the next school hoping they understand English.
After our first sunburn we leave to the sea Omokoroa, this time everyone has a kayak. Each adult takes a child with him, and go for an hour of paddling to get on a small beach for us alone. We spent a good part of the day, but you have to think back on account of tide times. The return does not like has been the go, the wind and the sea was against us. We had to paddle more beautiful not to go against me or feel like tipping. After some explanations of each other I finally managed to join them. Another beautiful day, sun, beach, sea, swimming and sunburn .... Back at the house preparing for the girls' school tomorrow.
Super sun on Tauranga, and a Saturday we are all starting to Waihi beach with two kayaks. Day at the beach with all the kids, picnic, games and surfing. Do nothing more. Natasha and her daddy tried kayaks, not bad for the first time. Towards the end of the day after taking a few sunburns we return to the house through the fish & ships (fried fish + chips), easy meal
