We left Rotorua on Christmas Eve morning and drove for a few hours through Auckland and on to Algies Bay to meet Mary's sister, Jane, and her husband Barry. Without ever meeting each other in person, we are just about to stay at their house for four days and spend Christmas together. It sounds crazy, but it just might work!
We took a nice walk along the shore and found...
...this awesome playground.
Of course, we had this at home to remind us.
