We went to Auckland this weekend so Spaz could compete in the National Age Group Duathlon Championships. He ran and cycled his way to a silver medal, of which we're very proud. All the Wellington athletes did well and it was a grand day out.
Auckland's not too bad either. She's scrubbed up okay, since the America's Cup. The Viaduct Basin actually looks quite nice these days; a lot finer than the impression it left when we first arrived nearly twelve years ago.
We went down to the waterfront to look at the boats - what is it about boys and boats, no matter what age they are? What fun it is to imagine yourself aboard one of these floating gin palaces, cruising around the harbours and the islands in fine weather with the sun glistening off the water. Of course it wouldn't be so appealing in a howling gale when you haven't seen land for days, but this is just a dream, remember.
So which one would you have?
