Matthew and I were up early to head out to Maranui Surf Lifesaving Cafe. That's a mouthful. We met Matt, yet another Havana connection. This place has a great veiw and quirky interior that has been redone after a fire in 2009. The fire brought with it the downside of being closed for a number of months and the upside of the building becoming the property of the surfclub and the community drawing closer in the bid to save the building. Great place to visit.
Ruby and Emma joined us for a jaunt up the coast to The Front Room in Waikanae. I had no idea that Waikanae was so large. The Front Room was fantastic and the girls enjoyed eating lying in beanbags on the back lawn while we worked. Craig has used his obvious skill in creating beautiful food. We had haloumi on a fabulous salad. Honestly the best food I have tasted so far on our way around. The girls went to the park and then swimming fully clad. They had a ball and I had some fancy footwork in the laundry department to get Emma back home with clean clothes.
Ellen had invited us for dinner and we had some lovely food and interesting conversation before the girls headed off to the Phoenix game and Matthew and I fell into the couch in the classic potato pose to watch movies. Bliss.
