Old Freinds

Fron Mt. Cook Lorna drove back down to Lake Tekapo where we had a look at the Church of the Good Shepherd and the monument to the sheepdog. By this time it was getting late and we were searching for a suitable place to stay. We finished up at The POP at James McKenzie's Bar and Grill in Burkes Pass. Another really good place - no facilities but a secure Level site. On Friday Morning we left reasonably early and were in Fairlie by 9.00. We phoned Mike's original flying boss and arranged a catch up that afternoon. We drove on to the Olds's and the local garage seviced the bus - 5000 ks since we left Auckland! The afternoon was spent having a great session with John and Diana MacDonald (the old boss) during which we found another ex ag pilot lived in Timaru. After dinner in the car park of the sports stadium we spent the evening with Keith and Francis King. We were really late - about 11PM - arriving at Caroline Bay to spend the night. Today will be spent doing washing and emptying tanks etc. I have got 3G so must send a photo. This one is of the Purakaunui Falls taken about a month ago.
