We’re off…
We are finally off on our road trip around the south island. We were put off our schedule a bit on Sunday when we went to an outdoor concert at the university, but it was worth it. As all the Ashevillians will understand, dreadlocks and the smell of cloves really made me feel at home. It was a beautiful day without a cloud in the sky, and with all the great music, we really could have been in WNC at a show. I guess that style translates well here. Anyway, now we are set to go. Alan is packing up the van, I’m seasoning our new little dutch oven, and we’ll soon be on our way.
First we are heading inland to Lake Coleridge, then we’ll make our way down to the coast to Timaru, then we’ll head back inland to Mt Cook. Our grand scheme is to go down the east coast, around the southern tip, then up the west coast in a month before Alan has to be back for the poker championships. We just found out that the Australian who won the World Series is playing at the event, as well as a few other big name pros. So this will be a great experience for Al. Well, we must be going, kia ora mates!
