This morning I went into town to Long Bay - well actually into and then out of town. Long Bay is one of the nicer beaches in Coromandel Town. I loved it but apparently it's not event that nice for New Zealand. I can't even wait to see what really nice beaches I find! I didn't stay long as I needed to get back to Skype my book club and the sun is really strong here and I don't want to get burnt again like I did in Australia. Yikes!
Here's a link to a video I took at the beach.
Harry Potter is coming along quite well. I'm almost done. I'm sure I'll finish today. Good thing they have most of the rest of the series here at the cafe/secondhand book store. And good think I'm here for 2 months so I can read them all!
I had so many other things to say but now I can't remember any of them.... Let's think...
Oh yes! This morning I rode a bike to the beach. The bike belongs to the owners of the cafe. The last time Michal, the husband, rode the bike the chain fell off and he went flying over the handle bars onto the road. I typically don't wear a helmet when I ride, bad I know, but today I did. Here I am, looking all nervous, with my helmet on:
Riding the bike was so nice. It cut my travel time to the beach in like 1/3. I think going to/from town will be much less miserable if I can use this bike. It will take like 10 minutes vs. 30. I like to go slow on the bike just in case the chain falls off and I fly over the handle bars. I'll probably survive better at a slow pace than a fast one...
I really feel like I had more to share but it's just not coming to me now... sorry! I'm sure I'll check back in later today.
Best!
Yay almost done with HP1!! Whoot Whoot!
