Wednesday Oct 19th we drove south to Whangarei, which is about one hour. We hiked to Whangarei falls from A.H. Reed Park. The walk was along the river thru a couple cow pastures, over a suspension bridge, and through the forest. It was a gorgeous spot with a nice wooden bridge right over the river in front of the falls. We had lunch there and then hiked back. After the park, we went into the town and found a bowling alley. We bowled a few games and then did some shopping in a nearby shopping area. We went to a huge sporting goods store, a huge camping/outdoor store, and a huge housewares store. It was nice to have a "normal" shopping experience. Lots of aisles, loads of selection, sales, and products we recognized! Where we live there are only small stores; you don't realize the strange comforts of home that you miss. Now, if we could just find a Publix... (Just Kidding). It was a great day. Thursday we are off to the golf course!
