AOTNZ tour Bannockburn

Sunday 18 July

Stuck at Queenstown Airport. Very flash these days. Good coffee & poached eggs

with mushrooms. Shouldn't have had the time but flight delayed from 9.00am till

1.00pm. Low cloud. Read Sunday Times in the crowded cafe. Listening to

Wellingtonian Mel Parsons' CD we were give by her proud parents at Cape Foulwind

Tavern. Bloody good. Weather was fab yesterday as we farewelled the Coast,

coming over the Haast to the majestic splendour of Central Otago. Great gig last

night at the Bannockburn Hall to about 60 - near capacity I would think. Old

mate Dave Marsh turned up and has offered to pick me up from QTN on Tuesday,

saving T & J a trip from Wanaka. Gig at Luggate Hall for Wanaka Arts Festival on

Tuesday night was sold out a fortnight ago apparently. We were joined afterwards

at the Motel by Mr Jameson from Ireland. Left the bottle for T& J as I head home

to see K & the kids for a couple of nights.
