Lake Brunner

Felt really nostalgic for Colorado, Derbyshire and Canada as we drove over to Lake Brunner. Suprisingly the van drives really well, and the layout is really good. Really starting to relax. Stopped at the lake, just gorgeous. Morning tea and off to Greymouth........great run.

Stopped outside huge supermarket decided to stock up. As we got out Roger said "Oh No! I left my jacket at the cafe!" I looked up and started to laugh because we were parked right outside an outdoor shop. I thought Roger - who loves Jackets was angling for a new one. And then I looked at his face....WHITE AS!

"Its only a jacket" I said. "No" he said. "Its got my passport and EVERYTHING inside it. Luckily I had picked up a card but our mobiles weren't working. Finally we got onto the cafe, "Yes its here" Off back down the road, which did not look so attractive and relaxing now!

Phew! What luck.
