Weekend Retreat

A few months ago, for his birthday, I gave DH a voucher for a weekend away in the beautiful Rangitikei which included a rafting trip. Since it's been years since I did any kayaking of rapids, I elected not to do the Grade 5 rapids but stick to the more sedate Grade 1 and 2 route (with one Grade 3 throw in for good measure and a brand new rapid that was only four days old).

It was a wonderful weekend away with beautiful scenery, excellent food, incredible weather, comfortable accommodation, and nothing-is-ever-too-much-trouble-staff. The hosts treated everyone like long-lost friends and apart from the sandflies (and the coffee apparently) there was nothing to complain about. Well maybe, the sunburn for DH who, despite loading on the sunscreen, still managed to burn (and in a most peculiar pattern).
