Day 17 - Gentle Annie

She is now in my sat nav and is the target for today.

I'm currently sat in the Breakers Bar, attached to the Grand hotel.  Poached eggs on toast has gone down well and now have to wait whilst the computer thingy does it bit with the Day 3 video.  Not yet catching up but will try to keep future vids to 3-4 minutes or so.  At the end of the holiday I will do a roundup vid of all of the good bits (for me anyway) and have already selected the track that I want to use with it.

Last night, the final leg in to the Hotel was 'fresh' to put it mildly. Even though I had an evening sun on my back I do need to remind myself that this is still late spring in New Zealand and there is still snow falling on South Island.  However today is again bright and sunny.  Will wrap up today as also likely to find showers on the west coast.

The manager of the hotel was remembering to me, as a 20 something in the army, how they took a convoy of trucks across the Annie; that was the days before the tarmac road, and how at the end of the day they circled the trucks, wild west style, as an encampment in the bush.

Hmmm.  Encamped in Annie's bush.  Brian, that is one for you my friend...

More to follow later today Baby.

Speak soon
