Well of
course it was chucking it down when we awoke and so a cup of tea then let’s see
what the weather is like after breakfast, still not good so let’s have a
shower, damns its worse. Oh well lets go back to the tent and see what we can
do.
We started packing
all the internal things, bed, sleeping bags etc and also our travel bags and
then suddenly it stopped raining for about 45 minutes and so we packed the car
and just finished packing up a still partly wet tent before the heavens opened
again. Our mind was so much on packing etc then one hour after we left the site
we realised we had left behind some goodies in the fridge, oh well never mind.
By 2pm we
were in our Hotel room and enjoying the luxury of a room and shower and loo, altogether
in one area and then at 5pm headed of to an area called Newmarket where we went
to a Wagamama Restaurant followed by a film called ‘Gravity’ which was very
clever technically but lacked substance. When we arrived at the cinema at around
6.15 the sun was shining and by the time we left the rain was back. Let’s hope
tomorrow is better.
Noel has
also been following up on an English film director he met many years ago in Los
Angeles and used to stay in his house when visiting the City in the Hollywood
Hills, The chap died in 1990 in Kawau Island in New Zealand and so he is trying
to find out whether Don lived in NZ for a while or was visiting friends.
It was one
of those relationships that lasted for several years and distance and changes
meant that we lost contact but it is worth following up with the Kawau Island
administration. Keep you posted on outcome,
