Holiday in the rain

I would be lying if I told you it pissed down everyday while we were on holiday last week - the truth is, we did have one day of sunshine...the skies cleared the day we came home.

-

Proof that it didn't rain all the time...a beautiful place when the sun is out

-

It was pretty close to being the holiday from hell:


1. Ingrid came down with stomach bug on day 1
2. Tutakaka seemed to be the only place in NZ that wasn't bathed in glorious sunshine all week.
3. Sophie didn't want to sleep at all while we were away -waking up at midnight and not getting back to sleep until 4am one night!
4. Ingrid forgot half the food.
5. We had to endure the same Hi Five DVD 3-4 times per day

-

Sophie's ready for beach action...then it rains again...she's not happy

-

In saying that, we had moments of fun, every 5-6 hours, the rain would stop for 15 minutes so we managed a quick swim in the pool or, took a speedy visit to one of the beaches and Sophie did a stack of painting while we were there too.

I guess it did teach us one thing…next time we’ll take more notice of the forecast before heading away on a summer’s holiday.

"Hi is this the taxi department?...can someone come and pick me up please...this holiday sucks!"
