Today Chris took us to see his Mum and we went for a drive on the other side of Auckland – Pukekohe.

We had met Kath in Cyprus at my nephew\’s wedding and was looking forward to visiting her.  However, she is a very busy lady and she had to consult her schedule to fit us in.  Kath will be 80 next year and is so busy it is wonderful to see someone of that age still volunteering and helping out in her community.

A walk up to the lighthouse.

Although we had cycled in this area there were some places that we didn\’t get to.  The lighthouse at Manaku Head is 18 kms from the main road.  There were some areas that we didn\’t go to on the bikes, because we had to decide if it was worth an extra 30 to 40 kms added on to the mileage of a day.

On some directional posts for historic sites the sign would direct you down a No Exit road, and not indicate how far the site was.  Like Manakau Head lighthouse it was 18 kms down to the lighthouse and 18 ks back.

A great photo that Ralf took.

We had a wonderful visit with Kath.  Have a great birthday next year.
