The Lakes Resort where we are staying
Sunday arrived along with the continued rain storms but at least we had nothing planned for the day except to watch the Formula 1 Grand Prix from
We needed some shopping for lunch and went out and stumbled upon a Subway and so had lunch there whilst it rained. The small supermarket was about half a mile away and we made that and got back to the apartment before the heavens opened again.
The Grand Prix was very exciting to watch and great to see Maclaren and Lewis win. It was also noticeable that Maclaren did not get secrets from Ferrari as they too would have gone off the road several times and have their engines break down. Part way through we got a phone call from the tour company responsible for our Kuranda Rail trip to say the line is blocked due to a land slip caused by the heavy rain and what do you want to do?. So we have delayed our trip by one day and hope we get back in time to pick up our hire car from
After the GP we headed down the road to find a wireless internet signal and check email, we also had a couple of beers and also bought a bottle of Chardonnay to go along with the half a kilo of fresh prawns (£5.00 only) which we enjoyed very much.
TV in NZ and OZ is all adverts unless you watch the ‘Adult Channels’ which we don’t, well not yet anyway. The weather forecast for tomorrow is looking better, let’s hope so.
