First I drove to Tikipunga where we walked Sophie.
Sophie always has a swim and needs drying after her walk!!!!
I then drove straight to the Town Basin and Doug took Sophie home on the way. He had to take his car in for new Shock Absorbers and I had suggested it would be a good time to walk along the river from the Town Basin. Although he had been to the Town Basin, Doug didn't know about this walk and was amazed , even getting in the waka to check it out!!!!
The new bridge across the Hatea River is progressing well. The various components of the bascule have started arriving in Whangarei.
I left Doug at the Town Basin with another hour to pass while he waited for his car. He was going to have a coffee and visit the Art Museum and Gallery. I went and visited Max who was not feeling very bright today.
