My flight was delayed due to plane malfunction and missed my connecting flight to NZ. But all was not lost.... I was flown to the Gold Coast to connect with a flight to Auckland from there, where I met up with my sister and bro in law and we enjoyed a meal on the beach together before my departure.
I had a wonderful week with our daughter and my neice in Auckland and felt what it was like to work in a cafe. Their cafe is in Mt Albert called "Cosset" which has been open less than a year and I was proud to see first hand the effort they put in to make it not only a success but a warm, friendly and unique atmosphere. A day spent doing dishes cemented my choice of being a midwife!

I spent a most enjoyable night on the Gold Coast with my twin sister and bro in law before flying out to Langkawi, Malaysia. Eric met me at the airport with flowers. It sure is lovely to be home..
We have been staying in a motel on the beach at Cenang. It is a very popular tourist spot with many water sports viewed from our balcony
