The stars came out last night which gave us hope that we would return to the glorious weather we were used to, not to be disappointed, the day dawned with the promise of a beautiful day and so it turned out.
A huge day was in store today with the run between the two lakes, a distance of just over 300 k’s and with a few stops along the way, an average time of 7 hours in the saddle. More stunning scenery, more great company and another brilliant destination.
As we drove through a small town by the name of Athol, we were greeted with this outside a Cafe, I stopped to top up the coffee mug and chatted with the owner Barry, a mad keen VW fan who would loved to have been on the Tour.
Top of the Crown Range above Arrowtown and on way to Cardrona and onto Wanaka
Go the mighty 36hp!! down to first gear ……
Looks like Rustybus needs a helping hand!!
Made it to the top of the world
Evey and Chelsea doing what they do best
Yes we do, we have our yen
We’re ready for our trip
To see the land of Samurai men
There’s just a little blip !
In all the haste to get away
I did not read the date.
It seems we don’t fly saturday,
but 1 more day to wait!
Does this mean my turn tonight
To dress up like a Wally ?
At least we won’t have missed our flight
and forfeited all our lolly!
Hope you are not too saddle sore! Keep on trucking!
Hi Greg and Sally
Your poem was read to us all last night, you know the one taking the ‘piss’ out of Tommo, went down very well, got a lot of laughs.
Do you have your Yen? Good luck with your travels!!
