A few days with the Gordon family in Tauranga

After spending a day and a half with the Gaynors, Fiona was safely aboard a bus, travelling to Tauranga, where she would be joining Penny's cousin, Stuart, and his family - his wife Megan and their two children - a daughter more or less Fiona's age (Janis) and their son who is a little younger.

Fi hasn't seen Stuart for a good while from what I can work out, but was so excited by the whole trip. I felt so for her when she commented that it was the first time she actually cried after saying goodbye to her cousins - apparently on the bus on the way back.

She seemed to spend a good deal of time on the beach.
