David Scalia Down Under

Gerard’s family friend David came to see us in late February before heading out on a cycling tour of the North Island. Despite a few bumps along the way that included some food poisoning on the trip over and some very sore tendons, David managed to complete his tour with a few more bus rides than expected. With us, he went to many of the same destinations that we like to share with all our visitors—Wenderholm, Sheep World, Goat Island and Tawharanui Beach, to name a few. A highlight of his visit was boogie boarding down the sand dunes at Te Henga. The sand was hot and dry that day making the rides wickedly fast!
