Soon leaving Wanaka..
Just a note really to let you know that some photies have been added to Rarotonga post - blimey, what a palava!
Hi Chaps, I've been skiving whilst Leigh does all the keying in and technical stuff with uploading photos. So, just to let you know that I am still around but not coming back 'with a vengeance' as I noted Leigh stated in previous blog-text. I really can't understand how Leigh can attribute this 'vengeance' characteristic to me...
We've had a great week in Wanaka and tomorrow we have to be out of our luxury apartment by 9.30am and take up our usual 'homeless' status. Only, this time not even a Motorhome between us. Just our feet and heavy rucksacks. Oh deep joy! Oh, I am not being truly honest here as we do have a smart rental car. It is gleaming white and is brand new and its make is a Toyota Camry Sportif (2.4 litre) - Leigh likes it anyway. 'Sod the shuttle and coach' he says. 'A car is the thing' This being on holiday lark is good fun when the most exacting challenge is how to set the blooming DVD. Luckily we managed it, adjudged (adjudged???) by the fact that we have watched a few films this week: Good Night and Good Luck; City of God; Brokeback Mountain; March of the Penguins. Oh, I've got to end this blog as Leigh has just pointed out that the program I want to watch tonight starts at 9.30pm and it is already 8pm and we have yet to dine and walk back to our luxurious over-looking-Lake Wanaka-complete-with-absolutely-topnotch-everything apartment. (Oh, 2moro is Budget Backpackers Hostel). And the program I want to watch? Well, its Gordon Ramsay at La Gondola in Derby bringing staff and furnishings into the 21st century. Dario's Dad owns it, so it has some personal interest. Not seen Dario since 5.08.06 at Ben's wedding. Soooooooooooooo, time to go. Goodnight and Good luck.
