Today almost everyone headed home but 8 of us and we all came down for one last breakfast together.

Then Alan and I went to the Auckland ferry where we met our next door neighbors from West Lafayette Indiana.  They come to New Zealand on business and planned to go to Waiheka Island

with us today.  So we took the 45 minute boat ride to the island.

On the island we had lunch and went on a tour of the island along with visiting three wineries.

In the evening we ate together at a restaurant called Gostos.(Italian)

Frank and Patty stayed all night at our same hotel then left early in the morning to drive 8 hours to the South Island.
