Our last day in Gisborne. We thanked the Langford's for their generosity and hospitality, gave hugs all around and then set off for our 6 hour drive to Auckland. David's brother Tim had spoken with him the night before and invited us to stop at Tauranga and have lunch with him. Tim had visited with debbie and her family in 1973 (in Boulder)...we accepted the invitation and headed north. Tauranga is another one of those places that's way off the tourist track for some odd reason. I think next time I come to NZ I'm only visiting off the tourist track area's...this place is awesome. Beautiful beaches, great little downtown, and what looks like tons of things to do.

Left Gisborne this morning at 7am headed for Auckland...had a memorable time with Kath, Sophie and the Langford's, such generous and wonderful people...we stopped in Tauranga to have a quick visit with David's brother Tim...Tim visited Deb's family in Boulder in 1973...ya 39 years ago...we had a fun lunch with he and his daughter Victoria...when he started talking and telling stories the resemblance with David was amazing...born storytellers these boys, wish we'd of meant there father, he must have been something.
