It is two weeks ago since my dear friends left us to go back to Norway after 10 days in Auckland. Yes, we had only 10 days but wow! did we do a lot of things while they were here!
We did sightseeing in the harbour of Auckland, Devonport, shopping, trip to Rotorua, saw the sheep show at the Agrodome, Wai-O-Tapu geothermal sculptured after vulcanic activity thousands of years ago, Taupo, Huka Falls (even saw a couple of young rafters going down the falls), lunch & dinners everywhere, visit to the farm & the in-laws, Matakana & concert, Omaha beach etc.
Lovely days with lots of laughs.
Here are some pictures:

Beautiful colors from the nature |
This was a few teaspoons of how we had it during their visit. We are now back to work and normal days.
The summer is not over yet, but the autumn has said a few hellos the last few days. It has been windy, overcast and a bit of rain. Temperature is still all right.
We are also planning a trip home in September. Still a bit to go but time is flying.
