Day 22 - Raetihi

Thank you, Vanessa, for the extra explanation about where we were, etc. Like I said I wrote it up and then it wouldn't load so I had to do it again. I didn't remember some of the things. Thank goodness for friends.
My morning started early and meet Alison (ex Air Force) and Vanessa at 9am because Alison had work at 10am.
Great to see them and to get a photo I didn't of Vanessa and me before I left yesterday. Couldn't get one of her food from last night because we had eaten it- sorry.
I then went to the supermarket and got a few things. I need fuel also for thhe camervan. Now I am no longer talking about beds perhaps fuel will be the next "situation "..!
Could be too much detail but I used a Mckeowns card on the South Island trip.
Not many here in the north or their partners. Knew I would have to get fuel before before I left Whanganui so been noticing the prices as I was driving around. Most were around $1..77 for diesel. Must have been along weekend special. I got it for $1.54 at NPD. Very pleased.
I then went on to Raetihi. Stopped and took a photo of the waterfall on the way.
Long story. When Jack was born another lady in the hospital, Marcie had a daughter two days later. We become good friends. Their second daughter lives here, Loren.
Fabulous old house that was a small hospital and then a maternity hospital in years gone by. They have done a massive amount to it, being an old wooden building. So big. Loren is married to Bruce and Bruce's parents are here as well in their campervan. Five bedroomed house, two people sleeping in it and two campervans in the driveway. Great conversation.
Great meal tonight and Loren's pav was top of the line.
I have been so very lucky to experience so many people cooking delicious food for me. I am blessedMeer informatie
