Day Seven!

A few wines last night but not inebriated, bloody flu really starting to piss me off now. Need to stop and get more drugs today. Had a great night catching up with friends and all the kids got along and are still alive so all is well! Left Timaru around lunch time but not before Doug spotted a "Mays Pie's" sign and insisted we stop for what he claimed to be the best pies in the world. So we found a park and trundled out of our people mover across the road to the place where these "pies" were.

Anticipation was high, excitement was building as we all sat down to bite into these "best pies in the world". Of course as time goes by and you haven't had one of these pies for a number of years things are usually not what you remember, and then various excuses are made to save face in front of said pie, in otherwords I was the only one that actually said the words out loud

"that was bloody awful!"

Back to the people mover, because we have a lot of people to move and onwards to Dunedin but not before stopping into the Moeraki Pebbles ooooo I mean Boulders. Can't believe how windy it is today! It's a shame that it is not blowing behind us and saving us some of that $1.95 a litre petrol. Stopped at the boulders and they are as great as I remember the boys thought they were amazing, wind was blowing and tide was in so had a very quick visit.

Arrived in Dunedin very, very windy and quite hot, the sun seems to be putting on a show for us while we are here and proclaiming in a voice that shouts:

"Burn, Burn!"

Terry, Sonya and the Girls are all good and it was so great to see them. About 2 seconds after we arrived Jack and Grace were best friends and chatting and playing for hours after that. Looks like they are going to enjoy spending the holidays together.
