Waiheke Island Santa parade

The 'city' Frocks popped over on the ferry to meet up with our Frock cousins on Waiheke Island for the island's Santa parade ...

The wearing of skirts by the men-folk is often customary on Pacific islands - but I'm not sure about the skirt and work boot combination!

The ladies of the island turned out in fabulous cycle chic (that's chic, pronounced 'sheek', as in European stylishness!)

... including the little ones!

The gents were also pretty nicely turned out ... red bow tie, tres chic!

... and some gorgeous floral shirts

... and flowers

A classic gent here, sporting a very festive button hole!

Flowers ...

Baskets ...

and flowers were recurring themes

And then we were off! Dashing through the snow (sun) tra la la ...

There were also a couple of tiaras in the mix!

And flags ...

As you can see, we had a very relaxed 'Christmas theme' for the ride!
