We had our first New Zealand fireworks night. We were invited by some friends to their school to watch the display. The school was in town, with the school field finishing on the beach. The views were amazing. It was like a mini Glastonbury! we all sat on the grass on our rugs drinking wine waiting for the sun to go down. The kids loved running around listening to the music with their glow sticks.

We finally got to see the fireworks about 9pm. They were fantastic but too loud as Joe put it. Next time he will bring his earplugs! It felt very strange not wrapping up in all our winter clothes for bonfire night.
