On time for the Balloon Fiesta
"Meeting Kiwi"
If it weren´t for the Fiesta this would be a town we would have skiped due to our tight itinerary. But having seen VT member Kiwi pages on this Festival we had to add it.
This was the also the chance to meet Pam (Kiwi) as she never misses this early morning event. Kiwi was there with Allicat. We didn´t have each others mobile numbers but managed to find ourselves in the middle of so many people!
It was awsome to meet someone from VT. They were my fitst ones!
Hopefully we shall meet again on my side of the planet. If not, the MFamily will try to return latest in 4 years.
"On the shores of the Waikato"
Besides the center, with it´s many shops and restaurants, the city looks calm. It´s lovely and peaceful by the river and the lake.
"By the lake at sun set"
Show a cookie and they will follow you to the end of the world!
