Today Nic was up very early as she had to be at the train station for 0750 to get her bus to Christchurch. Being the nice person that I am I walked her to the bus and helped carry a bag!! Then back to the hotel for me, before heading back to Queenstown via Starbucks. Who knows if I'll see one before Canada now, although they were out of vanilla and caramel syrup, my 2 favourites. The drive back was fairly uneventful, although I was having trouble keep...

In Dunedin I had managed to purchase a very cheesy tape from 1989 (I was in the upper 6th form at that time) and I played it about 5 times on the drive. It was an aural delight with tunes by such fab bands as Soul II Soul, Milli (not singing at all) Vanilli, Black Box, Depeche Mode and Betty Boop. My apologies to those of you who are too old, or too young for that matter, to have even heard of these poptastic sounds. For the rest of you - how old do you feel?!...
