Day 101 - Beached as Bro!

Today was a day for the beach. Sunny, hot weather with clear skies. We had a great sleep and headed off to Mount Maunganui after breakfast.

We ended up there till about 16:00ish, did a bit of shopping and bought a beach ball as well as a beach cricket set. This kept us entertained all day with PAJB still a popular sport.

After chilling out back at Murray and Kate's house from 16:00ish, once Murray got home from work we soon had dinner before getting ready for an evening's bike ride. Murray had invited us to a 40km cycle that he does every Thursday with a few of his mates. We set off around 19:30 with all our gear, luckily Murray was able to find 4 spare bikes, helmets and other bike accessories. Didn't take long to meet with his friends and get going.

Now Chaggie had both neither been on a bike for years, it certainly showed with Staggie coming off on a steep off-road downhill. Chaggie after about 12km decided on bailing out and turning around, going off-road turned out to be a little too difficult for us, amateurs! Jamie and Basil however carried on, managed to do a 28km ride before getting back. Murray and his mates then cycled back to the car. All pretty shattered we had a few beers, started watching a film but gave up half way and crashed out.
