Day 8

Last night Mum joined us in Auckland and stayed the night with us. Today started with meeting up with Ellie for breakfast after her first class at university. After that we took Mum to a bike shop in Mt. Eden for a few running repairs to make things a little more comfortable on her bike. Then we dropped mum off at the top of Mt Eden (fun fact if you didn't now Mt Eden is one of the old volcanoes that Auckland is built on) After we dropped Mum off Dad and I drove three hours to Hot Water Beach. But it wasn't low tide so we couldn't dig a hole to find hot water so we are going to do it in the morning.
