Kia ora 9/2/06 Caught the ferry from Wellington to Picton this morning and then picked up a hire car. Sail down was lovely can't believe the scenery throught the Malborough Sounds. Stopped of at Havelock on our way to Nelson and had some lunch - I said to Davey the journey was worth even if it was just to taste the mussels, they are delicious. Found Dave and Carolines house no bother and immediately knew it was the right one, Michael was outside and he is the image of his father. They are busy building a deck outside and around the pool. It was good to see them all and meet Daniel as he was away when we were in Zimbabwe. The view from there house is lovely overlooking the bay and Nelson Airport. Caroline and Dave had a business meeting in the evening but the boys looked after us while they were out. staying until sat morning when we will head down to Christchurch to see Norma and Denys and catch Sharyn before she heads south. Love to all Lynne & Davey xx
