Our ramblings..

Saturday, Satyu surprised me by coming home early..He was home by 6 and he herded me out to the car saying, we are going to One tree hill.

It was a beautiful scenic place on top of a hill and had the monument of John Campbell. For more details follow this link:

The sky was amazingly beautiful and the weather was a perfect melange of wind and chills and the sunlight's warmth..

On Sunday we went to Mission bay.. A beautiful beach area with clean blue waters and white sands.. A variety of people.. dark islanders with rippling muscles, to young girls clad in the tiniest imaginable bikinis, to young boys on skateboards, to hot moms to pregnant women, to gujju aunties to lovey dovey couples..to dogs..

It was like, my mind clicked a thousand pictures yday, which will stay with me, the colorful scenes, the white sands, the blue skies dotted with powderpuff white..

There was a green lawn adjacent to the beach where families were seen picknicking..with food, beach balls and dogs..

Though, I had a bad throat, we ate amazing ice cream at Movenpic.
It seemed like all the people had descended to this beach to make the most of the summer..

Me and Satyu sat there for about an hour, not talking much to each other. Simply absorbing all the sights and sounds around us. like he said later, this was the good side of NZ. Though I dont know what it means..I would like to remember it as a good place where I am sure, i am going to return and participate and not be only a silent observer again!!
