Day 10

24^th December

Today was a special day in the Haynes family. Christmas eve is also Mum’s birthday! She got a few present from the kids, and then we went to have lunch at the Boathouse restaurant overlooking the water. It was most delicious.

We then said goodbye to Julz as she flew to see her husband in Auckland. We then spent the night singing carols at a service held by the Salvation Army. They were small but welcoming, and the message and songs were very fitting.
