Anybody home??


Friday 11th September: A cool start but then bright and sunny and warm. We walked to the boys' piano lessons, and on the way back noticed a house had disappeared since we had walked past last week. What made the boys chuckle was that the mailbox was still there, with post in it, but no house! (see photo).
Next we walked into town to get some food and post a parcel and then home to finish off some schoolwork. After lunch we packed up the motorhome and drove to the other house. The decorators were hard at work, the builder was finishing off, and two other men were dismantling the polytunnel to be taken away tomorrow for the previous owner's new house.
The boys and I drove to Tekapo and arrived at 5.30pm. We noticed many more motorhomes on the road today - the new tourist season must be underway. We set up camp and cooked tea. The campsite was busy this evening so we went to a site we stayed at many times last year and was now dried out enough to use.
The boys went off to bed and Steve arrived later in the truck.
