Tauranga - Rotorua - Taranaki


We had a very busy two days planned for Friday and Saturday. Friday to Tauranga to change a Dryer and fit the new smoke Alarms in all the flats in the Zone. Then we had to make a unexpected trip to Rotorua. We were too tired to drive back to Hamilton so stayed the night at the Midway Motel where we have stayed previously with Marc, Shauna and Sue when they came to visit. It is very pleasant there and has a plunge pool. Which I am sure we mentioned before when I went in the pool with Shauna, Sophia and Lilly, such fun! So Elder Saunders and I took a dip this time also. Bit like a warm bath only no soap allowed. Luxury as we haven’t had a bath in over 18 months!!!
The next morning we headed for Taranaki just a two hour trip we thought, 4 HOURS LATER! The road and scenery was good and pretty but just longer than we expected. We first decided that we would just deliver the washing machine then go right back to Hamilton but changed our minds. Again we were tired and the thought of a three hour drive was daunting. Also we had told the missionary sisters in New Plymouth that we would not be staying then felt that this may be the last time we will ever see them again. So again we changed our mind and visited with them. Which was lucky for them because they only had a simple smoke alarm and not even the old carbon monoxide  so Elder Saunders fitted one of the new ones.
Just for a change we had a few hours of relaxation at the Motel. Luxury!
