Youth Camp @ Foxton 27-29 April

I went to the LifePoint Church Youth camp at Foxton Beach (north up the coast from Wellington about 90 mins drive) ... with some mates from school. Had a great time with all sorts of activities .. night games in the sand dunes, discussions, learning experiences .. and PIZZA. Got back on Sunday night at about 6:00pm .. tired but happy.

Time for a shower .. I think !!!

ANZAC Day: Wednesday, April 25, 2007

This day is a public holiday in NZ and Australia- ANZAC day .- This morning many people (just Anna & Jeremy... not me) get up early to attend the dawn ceremonies (5:45am) and lay wreathes as we remember the people who have died in conflict. There are memorials in most towns and cities where wreaths are laid. This is one of 4 days in the year when most shops are closed (for the morning only today). The city has recently developed a memorial to the unknown soldier where an unknown NZ soldier who died in Europe in the 1914-1917 conflict was brought home and buried.

Densie's 50th at Greytown

We went over to Greytown ... about 80 minutes drive over the Rimutaka Hill to the Wairarapa ... felt a bit car sick ... probably Jeremy's driving. It was Fay's younger sister Densise's 50th surprise birthday .. entertainment was a belly dancer !! .. and NO this is not a Kiwi tradition.
