Today we moved to the motel at 219 Johns
Road, we decided that this year being here longer and as both of us
were on holiday that us along with Yas and family need some space.
When Chris was over in January when Yas had pneumonia she rang around
checking prices and places to stay for a while. The motel offered a
great price and allowed Rory to stay over if he wants for NC, the
motel is fully serviced and self contained, not far from Yas and
family and also a good location for us to get across to the rest of
the families on the east side. Martin and Angela have loaned us a car
which we are so grateful for it is a Mazda Roadster MX5 sporty
model.It allows us to get around without having to take Yas car off
her.Even though the main Johns Road runs along the front of the
motels once inside with the door closed we dont hear the traffic.The
managers allowed us to pay the motel off during year so that when we
arrived we had no money to pay - bonus. We go back to Yas and Ad's on
January 3rd staying there until we return home to Aussie. Ad minded
Rory today for us as we went to meet my good friends Loraine and
Jacky from Air NZ for a coffee, we had to meet them at the Copenhagan
Cafe in Harewood Road at midday, it worked out really well as we were
able to go straight from the cafe to the motel for a 2.00pm checkin. (photo later)
A couple of shots around the Christmas Tree last night and yep Harley dog had to get in on the act.
