The Kiwis Have Landed

Remember the film,

Honey, I've shrunk the BOAT.

A great write-up, the time goes by so quickly. Wishing you a safe journey home ...  

[Kron]

He was very lucky!!

Can't believe it's your last night already! Have a safe journey home.

But the Snow fields will be coming to their best, giving some of the finest skiing in the Southern Hemisphere.

Goodbye folks, it has been fun knowing you. I shall continue to follow your antics from "the other side". 

We are now experiencing the true beauty of hindsight. Swmbo was determined to travel light, bringing the minimum in the smallest possible case. It was great. At the start. Since then we have perused shops and sales, all the while me muttering " i dont have a clue where this is going". 

Now neither of us have an idea where this is going. Certainly not in that tiny purse she termed her "carry on". Carry On is right. The bottleneck is our internal flight from Norwich to Manchester (truly the cheapest and quickest way to make the trip) and we will now have to get Logan Air to look the other way whilst we sneak on with a cabin trunk hidden under my (my!!) Jumper.

Have fun.

Chris

Bon Voyage.

Edit: PS. Any chance I could hitch a ride with you as far as Melbourne?

A very nice thought John and thankyou. Our flight has been delayed by four hours too, so we will now be stuck at Norwich until 6pm.

Oh, just for the record, no red light and only one precautionary pumpout in 3 weeks. Is it a record we ask?

[Jbx5]

No problem Chris I will be leaving Norwich at 11am just me myself and I if you want a lift

Not sure I want to read a thread concerning bowel movements in a 3 week period myself!

Not on here, anyway.  You've only got to look at the news  to see that motions have been passed at Westminster,  not that it is newsworthy particularly,  given what most politicians speak!!

Hello again. Just to let you know the Kiwis have safely landed back home in NZ around 8am today. I know that seems a long time since leaving our boat on Friday, because it is, but our flight out of Manchester was not until Sunday lunch.

We plan to be back, if not before, we will make it in 2022 for our golden anniversary.

Anyway i am attaching a picture i took today of the view from the 14th tee of my local golf course in the depths of the New Zealand Winter. 21 degrees. Not Womack Water but not too shabby.

Cheers

Chris

Good to know you're safely home. Lovely photo! Here's to the next time!
