On Sunday morning, Larraine Howard invited me to the Maori Church
in Christchurch. Reg and I had visited the church earlier in my trip (it
has the etched window of Jesus in it). The service was very similar to that
of a Catholic mass. The minister was Maori, and all of the music was sung
in Maori, but almost everything else was in English. The minister was more
than dynamic - funny and gave a great homily. I hope to get back there again
before I leave New Zealand.
Reg picked me up and off we went on our trip to the northern part of the island.
Our destination for the day's drive was Whangrei, which is a seaport town on the
northern east coast of new Zealand. We had reservations in a Youth Hostel in Whangrei.
We had a private room, but had to share a bath. The view out our window of the
harbor was great!
Hundreds of 30' plus sailboats in the harbor!
I think this one has my brother Steve's name on it!
At the harbor before dinner.
View out our window!
