Somewhere in Paradise

Wow, not sure what day it is. Last night we saw the sun set and the full moon rise from Stony Batter (a post volcanic mountain area with giant boulders strewn about) . After we had a dip in a hot tub somewhere in Paradise. Can't believe the trip is winding down. Today we're off from Waiheke Island back to Auckland then off to Kerikeri, a beach on the west coast of NZ. . . .1000 photos later. The cicadas are very noisy here and the smell of freshly baked muffins fill the air at Punga Lodge. Yesterday on our kayaking trip our guide Ross cut up a full sized watermellon with a knife and cutting board across the raft of kayaks in the middle of the Tamaki Strait.
Missing Michele, Ray, Mike and Leon (xx) . More later. Aroha.
