Coffee and cakes in Mission Bay

The main reason for this trip was to meet our brand new niece, baby Harriet (and to visit her mummy and daddy). So we decided to spend the afternoon with them. Unfortunately Richard was busy at work, and we didn't have enough space in the car to bring Luca along so only 5 of us went to Mission Bay.



We weren't sure why so so many people were at the beach and the park. Being a Friday? The end of Uni term? There were people everywhere!!

So we sort of had to escape from the main part of the bay and walk away from the crowds.
Oliver was very happy with the tricycle and having the full attention of both his parents.







Three of us:



Harriet was very asleep. She must have liked the fresh sea breeze!



Caroline and Harriet - Beautiful Rangitoto Island as the backdrop:



The wind got a bit nippy after a while so we had some hot chocolate and nice cakes!



Harriet stayed asleep and not having our noisy little Luca, we had nice chit chat :) It was such a lovely afternoon - thank you Caroline and Harriet!

It was our last day in Auckland for this trip. The weeks went by so fast! It is a shame we cannot stay longer, finally the weather is getting just right :(
