I went away for the weekend with my old workmates from James & Wells. A group of us gals have been going to Pauanui for nearly 2 years now, every 3-4 months Renae's lovely family lets us stay at their awesome holiday home on the waterways.
It is very beautiful and FLASH there, it’s not unusual to see a Ferrari or an Aston Martin, or to own a heli-pad and a boat and a holiday home with 5 bathrooms etc. So I fit in perfectly of course =)
We always do a joint shop consisting of items for 2 massive cooked breky’s and plenty of snacks, and everyone brings a fair bit of booze. Usually the first wine gets opened at 11am (Shelena u booze hag) and we lounge around on the deck drinking, relaxing, snacking and talking girl talk for the day… b4 missioning to get fish’n chips and cranking out more drinks and a variety of games.
But not this weekend… this weekend we were lucky enough to get to go out on the boat (not that that stopped people drinking b4 12pm). We got geared up in our wetsuits and snorkelling gear. A rather large sting ray was soon spotted lying on the bottom of the ocean. It was quite cool, but also a bit scarey (CRIKEY!) so I didn’t stay near it long. We saw a few fish but no Nemo. Also had a paddle in the dinghy, well we tried… it looks so easy but we were just going round and round in circles!
After a bit of lunch I decided to go in the water again (gotta make the most of these opportunities). I was all geared up and in the water and taking a few deep breaths through the snorkel to calm myself (I’m still a newbie at this) then put my face in the water and took a deep breath again…unfortunately my snorkel was on incorrectly and had fallen under water, so I inhaled a massive amount of salt water! Yuck! I pulled myself up a bit on the end of the boat and spewed it all out! (a few lunch chunks too much to the girls’ disgust!) After that, and the fear of more sting rays, my adventure soon came to an end and I was content to sit on the boat! Hopefully will have some pics to upload soon...Hayley in a wetsuit...SEXY!
That night we were all pretty shattered, but had a good time playing singstar and having a few drinks…
Another weekend not hungover! I’m getting good at this =)
