Home and to Beez
Bottom
After our wow at the Stones concert
and unplanned tramp we had a slack day on Sunday, going out in the evening to
eat at the Indian Express – last there in March. We sat at the same table with
the same lady serving us, she welcomed us as old friends and our meal, like the
last time was delicious. Monday was home day. Up and packed for the final time
this trip we caught the motel shuttle to the airport, the transfer bus was
loading so on we got. Half an hour later we were only just able to make out
the Sky Tower. A short walk to the bus station and
time for a sandwich before our bus left at one.
Soon out of the city and into the lush countryside.
Lovely to see so
many different trees.
We had a leg stretch half way back to
Opua and actually pulled in to Kawakawa for fuel – neither of us have ever been
on a public transport bus that has pulled into a petrol station. Still it gave
us a nice view over the steam train station. Ten
minutes later we were met by Rod, great to see him. The short drive down the
hill in Mrs Puki, and there we were at the girl. Wonderful to be home. Beds
raced in to see Bernie, Bobby and Claude, we poured a long one and settled to
some long overdue games.
Up with the sparrows this morning
Bear went off to hire a machine. I set my bar low and did the unpacking. The Black and White Minstrel came up for a cold drink, not
welcome indoors, he sat out in the conservatory.
Trusty
machine.
The worker.
Nearly
done.
Beez all
ready for the undercoat on the morrow.
Methinks this tired and dirty Bear will need more than the allotted four
minute shower.........best take several two bob
bits.
ALL IN ALL SO PLEASED WE HAVE
PINK AND BLUE JOBS
IT ALL WENT BETTER THAN
EXPECTED |
