Over to Cook's Beach

We went to Cook's Beach once right after we moved by driving over and I got ridiculously motion sick so this time we decided to take the ferry and get picked up by a member. We were invited to eat at the Higgin's family's flat so here's some pics:

They have a beautiful home. Most of his extended family have homes on Cook's Beach as well but he is the only one who lives there full time. The rest have holiday homes (which doesn't mean they're small by any means!). He and his brothers had a car importing business but they're mostly retired now. As we came home, this is how Mercury Bay was looking at sunset

It still seems unbelievable that we live in such a beautiful place. Kia Ora!
