From Taupo we travelled north, stopping over at Bryan and Jo's in Papamoa. Bryan took Josh fishing (and Louise) which Josh is still raving about months later. We played at the beach and swum at the local pools.
We travelled to Mangawhai and enjoyed a few days with Helen and Ken. We checked out the building progress on their new house. Josh tried out eeling again with Paul.
We were back in Auckland in time for Halloween with Sally, Brett, Rose, Annabelle and Jasmine.
