We drove out Waingaro Road to Glen Massey just this side of Ngaruawahia to see Paul and Daphne. They laid out lunch and after a tour of the house and gardens, we were off on a drive to see the countryside (that’s their house in the centre of the photo from up on the hill). BUT not before Karin could be reunited with the baby Captain Cook pig she saved from the dogs on the pig hunt in 1999. Hori went to live with a neighbour, who had domestic pigs, and has since had a pleasant reproductive life. He’s a bit bigger than when we saw him last. Paul let the neighbour know we were coming, so Hori waited in the stye for us. There was definitely a twinkle of recognition and Rick captured the reunion with many photos. Jim was not particularly impressed.
Off to Taupo tomorrow!
