We
had another fine weekend and it is fine again today. We are feeling
very pleased about it.
I
went for a walk with the tramping club along the Waikato River in
Hamilton. We started in the gardens and then walked through Memorial
park and on to the path. It is all concrete and easy walking. We walked about 4 ks on the east side of
the river and then crossed over and had lunch. Then we wandered
back to the cars on the west side.
At one point, we saw a boy of about 9 wanting to
ride his scooter down a short, but steep hill. His mother said no but
he did it anyway. Of course it got too fast and his face was a
picture as it went from laughter to Oh My God!. He dropped the
scooter and ran down. One of our lady's went to catch
Lots of history boards along the path with Maori and early European
stories. It was quite interesting and something I hadn't done before. They have the remains of the Rangiriri, which was the boat that took people and goods up and down the river. There isn't much of it left, but it has been put under shelter to protect it from the elements.
