In the last 2 weeks before we left, it finally got warm enough for everyone to go swimming at Onetangi Beach. The water was still a bit chilly at first, but most of us (except Terry) got used to it. A big bonus was that the water was crystal clear.
Lucy and Emily took a little time out from packing to visit Kelly ?? at her local studio (you can see some of her art here). Kelly is an amazing artist (she is the partner of one of Terry’s ferry buddies, which is how we met her) and has a studio on the east side of the island. Emily loves art, and Kelly invited her to visit her studio, so with time running out on Waiheke, we drove over to her side of the island. Following Kelly’s advice, we stopped along the way to admire an incredible view…how is it we spent 6 months on Waiheke and never made it to this part of the island? Kelly was so gracious, showing Emily the journals she keeps, which is how she gets her ideas, discussing her techniques and showing her various works in progress. What a great experience for Emily!
After that, Emily and Lucy went by Waiheke High for one last look, and Emily showed Lucy the site of an epic struggle to recover a ball that rolled down a steep embankment into the bay.
