Bussed up the hill to the Artworks and library complex, looking first at a nice arty craft shop by the name of Upcycle before toddling down to Oneroa for a lovely lunch at Wai. I ordered a roast pork belly bap, with
caramelized onions and salad garnish which was succulent. Beautiful views out to the bay, though the water was rather grey and silvery instead of its usual blue.
Looked at another couple of arty crafty book shops - Tivoli, which had a very interesting large knitted doiley on the wall with little articles of clothing , rather like those paper cutouts we used to make using folded paper, but all knitted in red yarn, and , Island which has lovely clothes which I have bought on a couple of occasions ones , made by Belinda. She does mosaics too, using old china and I have often passed on my shards to her for recycling.
Then back to the Community Art Gallery for our final dose of visual culture. There was a great array of mainly local Waiheke art which was good for the soul. There is an excellent shop there with local and "imported" crafts and arts.
Two of us went back to our bach for coffee and a walk along Surfdale beach at low tide, and the others all got earlier boats back. Opened a packet of fresh German Melitta coffee and enjoyed it with Venetian biscuits, fig crackers and fruity cheese I bought in Perth. Yum.
PS The photos are of Oneroa Bay earlier in the year, and the bach which is nice any time of the year.
