Auckland - Ponsonby

Recent reflections:

Tonight as we prepare to leave the city that is Auckland and head to South America we sup on homemade pizza a la Nicholas Buck downed with a pinot noir. It is cold here and we're both wearing our puffa' jackets. It was 25 degrees in Dunedin last week - perhaps reason to doubt those who insist it's warmer up north than in the deep south!

Whilst we'll admit to being slightly nervous the far greater feeling is that of anticipation and excitement!!!

Sports News:

Kirsty Berry and Rodney Wallace retained their title as the mixed teams winner of the CrazyMan duathlon in Wellington... the challenge has been set again for Fleur Pawsey and James Couborough should they be brave enough next year. James came second in the Mens race this year and Fleur is a genuine legend so by all accounts that would be a fine race in 2010. It's unlikely that Team Lovers will compete - though perhaps with some South American altitude conditioning Mrs Revell could step up (don't hold your breath though!).

Alex Revell had a blinder of a race - second in the Mens Duathlon. We'll claim that one by association!

  1. Great blog Mr and Mrs Revell, thanks for the special mention.

    Look forward to reading the future tales that are sure to come :)
