We arrived here safe and sound around 11:30 and where met at the airport by Graham who commented on the fact we had caught the sun - “feel the burn” more like it

We drove home and dropped the bags off and went out for lunch at Jack Flashes where I had a divine banana smoothie. Too much good food I am on a strict diet when I get home! It was a lovely lunch after which we went home to relax before our dinner at Dux de Lux. Sophie decided to scream the whole way there which wasn’t ideal but she cheered up after a bottle and a lot of fussing from Mom, Dad and Uncle Graham.

We are now back at Grahams’ folks home having some wine on the balcony. Sweet joy! Well it’s early to bed for us tonight as tomorrow will be quite taxing. We have to unpack, sort and repack, deciding what we want to keep, leave here or throw out.

Night, night and lots of love from me in New Zealand. Can’t believe this is my second to last post boo hoo. See you all very soon, not long now.

Thanks to everyone who sent their comment it’s been a wonderful way to keep in touch and thank you to Graham again for putting us up. We owe you

Lots of love
