The Saints and the Sinner

We are ready to race.

First stop Kaiapoi Aquatic Centre.
AquaZumba is at 7pm on Wednesday and will cost $6.50 to attend.


Haley and the lifeguard trying aquacise on land.



Next stop Kaiapoi iSite
It costs $5 to hire a fishing rod, we used this to make a magnificent catch!






Kaiapoi War Memorial visit - very cool structure to commemorate our WW1 Kaiapoi fallen soldiers (our children value being part of the ANZAC ceremony each year.



Here is an image of the war memorial sculptured by Tretheway and Berry Sculptors. William Trethewey Trethewey received only one more commission for a war memorial in those years; it was from the community in Kaiapoi. The resulting work was a digger on a base prepared by his then business partner Daniel Berry. At the time, the sculpture was judged to personify the Anzac spirit, and the mayor held an enthusiastic speech at the unveiling on 26 April 1922.

At the Kaiapoi River we stopped for a quick crack at whitebaiting however were completely unsuccessful due to our inappropriate atire. The Kaiapoi River has several tributaries, including the Cam River, used for carting logs and wool in the 1890s and 1900s. There are also several streams that join the Kaiapoi River.







We almost lost Haley at Harvey World of Travel as she thought the challenge was to actually go to Sydney, unfortunately for Haley Therese did not approve her leave.





Time for Coffee! Coffee Culture here we come!


Drink of choice (we are told) is the Double Decadent Mocha. Rather delish!!


DOUBLE DECADENT MOCHA
Single shot of Chocolate, single shot of Caramel, double shot of espresso and double shot of textured milk. Topped with whipped cream and served in a latte cup.




Until we were arrested we had a fantastic trip around Kaiapoi.
