The last leg

We leave here tomorrow morning to travel the six or more hours to Christchurch, via the coast of Malborough. More twisty roads! So our holiday in NZ is nearly finished and with great sadness we say goodbye to everyone here, and the beautiful sunshine.

We have been walking around the airport each day with Neville and Margaret, a total of 7 kms, so we are very fit and must keep this up when we return to the UK, providing that we are not snowed in of course. I walked so fast that I had difficulty taking photos of the aeroplanes taking off or landing!
I am including a photo of Neville and Chris’s hamburger shop which is called Racey Burgers. Walter and I helped make some of the meat patties for the hamburgers, and worked very co-operatively together I might add. Unfortunately the shop was closed when we took the photo so have included a separate photo of Neville and Chris. Their hamburgers are delicious! Margaret has just reported to me that her recycling bin is full of wine bottles! There must be a mystery drinker in the house or perhaps the neighbours have been leaving their bottles in Margaret’s bin. Margaret is adament that she did not drink the wine.

Walter is off to bowls again today, which is the fourth time since we arrived. He has really become enthusiastic about the game. I hope he does not get sunburnt as it is a hot day.
