Question: What do you do if the sea coast around where you live is too polluted to go swimming?
a. Form a grass roots movement to make the government do something
b. Shed a silent tear for the environemnt and Humanity's continued destruction of it,
c. Get out with a pair of tongs and a grabage bag and start doing your part.
d. Head for a giant man-made pool complete with rental inflatable crocodiles.
Sadly, for Mother Nature, we chose 'd'. As you can see by the pix, I wasn't kidding about the inflatable crocodile. Anyways, Lagunasia is part theme park, part pool complex and part outlet mall in Gamagori the next town over from Toyohashi. Joshie just happened to get a free ticket from his kindergarten so off we went for a day at the 'beach'. While the theme park part looked pretty lame, the pools were great fun. In true Japanese style they even had a wave machine in one of the pools for those wanting to do a little body boarding etc However despite the great facilities etc it just wasn't the real thing. While I can do without sand in my toes it's the atmosphere of the beach that's half of the attraction.

If you can give a bit more warning of exact dates this time (so I can co-ordinate leave), we could go for a beach holiday this year.
Was talking to roger - he's keen for a road trip down to Christchurch.
do i take it from curious's cryptic remarks that you are planning to visit aotearoa again sometime in the near future?
