3-5-08 Kapiti Coast

---

For the past 5 days we have been staying with our friend Ron Head. Ron lives on the kapiti coast just north of Wellington. It has been great to Ron again, he stayed with us in 2005. The Kapiti Coast is named because just off the coast is Kapiti Island.
Ron lives right on the beach.
Went to a Friendship Force meeting. The Kapiti Coast FF is hosting a group from Hanover, Germany. They really know how to do up their meeting. Lovely supper, wine etc.
Tomorrow we will leave for the south island. We sail from Wellington to Picton at 8:30 AM. We have to get at 5:30 AM, not Juanita favorite time of the day.

Kiwi word for the day is Chilly Bin. This is picnic cooler.
Attached is a few pictures of the Kapiti Coast and Ron’s house.
