Too fast...

This trip went by too fast. Man, 3 weeks ago I was still in San Fran, and now I'm back home.
A trip which left me with lots of beautiful memories again. I'm only home for a couple of hours, but I already miss New Zealand, Les Mills, all the great inspiring people, and ofcourse the sun!
But to be honest it feels good to be at home as well. Looking forward to our Dutch Quarterlies. Tomorrow will be the first one. I won't be presenting untill Vleuten, but I will do live assesment for BP and BA. Probably will do BS and BB to work out a little after all this sitting on the airplane for 2 days .... mmmmm

But to get back to New Zealand. It was a great trip... What have we done???!!!!

  • Surfing @ Piha beach
  • Winery/wine tasting Waiheke Island
  • Day trip Bay of Islands (dolphin boat trip)
  • Day trip to Rotorua (Hot springs, Maori Culture)
  • Auckland Museum and a citywalk
  • Going out, having great dinners with good company
  • Mission Bay many times
  • Lots of Les Mills classes including Filming

Sounds pretty good doesn't it?? Well I'm going to relax a little now and will try to stay awake untill the evening so I can get back to Dutch time asap.

Dutchies teaching with Susan

Karin, Dennis and I have been teaching with Susan 2 times now.
First time was last monday at 06.10am and also yesterday and 7.10am.
Still have to get used at working out this early,but I am amazed by the fact that there are so many people taking these early classes.
The dedication kiwi's have for sports and working out is something I really love. What I try to tell at home that working out makes you feel fitter and give you more energy is something that the Kiwi's know for a fact and enjoy doing because they know they will feel better and more energized. It's just great. And ofcourse it was very special to be teaching with our half dutchie Susan. A lot of internationales were still there as well so we had dutchies in the class as well as the whole canadian team in front row. Argentina and mexico were represented as well so it was good to see them

After class we got some coffee and left with all the dutchies and Anni to Waiheke Island. What a prettyt Island it is. We had a great lunch, wine tastery and also spent time on the beach. At 05.45 pm it was time to take the ferry back to the city so we would be on time for dinner.
A great day again.

Today will be the last day with the agency and then Karin and I will stay here with Jos and Dennis to enjoy our holiday even more.
