Day 71 - Ohoka

Please to report my tea was fine this morning and as always love my cuppa in the morning. I did pack up my North Island map. Probably won't get the South Island one out this trip.
It was off down the road and a bit hard momentarily to remember that I was still on the other side of Bleheim. I thought I might go out on the whale watch boat but needed to move a lot earlier in the day to get on that. It was too late for today.
The drive down was okay. Loved seeing the sea. Traffic was busy in places. Hot 30 a lot of the time.
Got to Amberly and did a big stock up of food. I have options again! Lady on the side of the road was selling whitebait so I stopped and got enough for two small patties after I arrived at Ohoka.
Arrived at Ohoka to my brother's home. Pretty emotional. Winston is doing pretty well since the loss of his wife Lesley, three weeks ago.
We cried, we hugged, we talked, we had a drink, we went for a walk and then he cooked a delicious meal. He has learnt a few things. Lesley was a great cook and her presentation of food was very professional.
I didn't add any pieces to the puzzle.
Lesley would be happy that I continued with my trip and as many said a very dedicated follow of my blog. Part of me can't be sad that she is no longer suffering and is at peace but oh how I would love to sit with her and talk about the things I done and places I have been.
Very special lady.Read more
