A few of the Tora Tarts relaxing with a wine after the big walk to the top of Papamoa Mountain. Just reward!

8 weeks to go!
July holidays are over and so it's this term that I leave for my big OE. During my non contact time with schools, I was able to go on a few bike rides with Ethan around Te Aroha - when it was fine. I also met up with Lyn in Papamoa and we pedaled 22km just for fun! We also joined up with our Tora Tarts (walkers) and walked around Mount Maunganui and up to the summit of Mount Papamoa. Relaxing that night in the spa with a mulled wine and the sea and sand below us was heavenly. Thanks Leanne.
Hiked off up into the race stands at Te Aroha tonight - up and down the steps a few times and even jogged up on one occasion - just to give the heart some exercise. Then off around the race track. Must do that more often.
