Quick Holiday by Lake Rotorua

We have just been for a weekend trip to Rotorua for my Great Aunty Val's 70th party. It was very busy with lots of people I didn't know but they were all very nice and there was a staircase that I went up and down all nightlong. Here's me, my Dad and my Great Nana Kaye (and Pippa in the corner) at the party.We stayed at a wee holiday house beside a river that runs between Lake Rotorua and Lake Rotoiti and there was a bridge to a little island at the end of our garden. Here's Dad, Pippa and I on the bridge.

There were so many birds flying around and we had one lovely white duck living under the bridge.
We had a spa pool in the garden which was fun for Mum and Dad (I have a bad cold so wasn't allowed to go in!) Here are our friends from Wellington, Tony, Anna and Evie, who we bumped into in a cafe in Rotorua, in the spa pool, in the pouring rain.
