Further to my previous post about what Sam, Dave and Leen are up to, we've just come back from two days on the Coromandel Peninsula. They continue to be unbelievably cool and fun to have around.

We've mostly been sightseeing by day and watching some very bad TV shows and movies by night. Sam and Dave are now fans of "Monkey", if I can use the term "fan of" in reference to a show which has lines like "he spent the rest of his life clearing mountains and eating dirt, just like the rest of us." Don't even ask. If you've never seen it, you won't understand. We've been watching a lot of "Thunderbirds" episodes too.

Tomorrow we hope to go sailing. Dave goes home the day after that, and Sam and Leen one day later. Hopefully we'll get in some snorkelling at the marine reserve, and a few other activities, before then. They can tell you the details themselves, though.
