UK

After saying goodbye to Lynne and Geoff we headed to the UK to visit our cousin Henry.

We nearly didn't make the plane because we had allowed the right amount of time and then got caught in a traffic jam caused by striking truck drivers (some of you may remember we have been in a similar traffic jam before!). it took an extra hour to get to the airport and we checked in with 1 minute to spare.

The first day mum and dad weren't there so we went to wild-wood and ten pin bowling which was cool, but Tamati didn't feel to good and had to rest for a while. The second day we went to a huge shopping mall and saw the movie Ice Age 3 in 3D, but this time mum didn't feel to good and had to rest for a while! The next day was the minster festival - where there was a parade and lots of games to play. Henry and Ariki joined in the races - no prizes this time but it was lots of fun.

The last day at Henrys house Uncle Alban had a concert nearby so we all went to watch -this is the first time we have managed to be there at the right time to listen to him play. It was a nice day and they were playing outside so we had an ice-cream (with a flake of course) and listened to them play.
