So my friend Laura arrived in on the Sunday evening. Had a very nice (even if I do say so myself) dinner with Graham & Myra, Glynn & Jayne (who are now in Europe) and Mark and I. A good dinner chased down by a bottle of wine & whiskey aperitif – and Laura was quickly on her way to getting over jet lag!
Monday morning, locked the door and left the place under the constant protection of our Security Ducks. As other ppl in the house have been feeding the things they’ve taken to lurking outside hoping for a feed. I continually disappoint them in this – but it never stops them.
Anyway..started the long (9 hour) drive down to Te Anau. It really is a stunning drive. We didn’t have fantastic weather and so weren’t able to see Mt. Cook on the way past Lake Tekapo.
Arriving into the lake front backpackers down there at 9pm ish. Real shame the hot spa was closed – would have been most welcome.
I think the ducks must have got lonely without me – as there were more down in Te Anau..
