KIWI ROAD TRIP



We parked the boat, rented a car and drove to Melbourne. Sounds easy, eh?

Well, it poured rain overnight, so our morning started with pants rolled up, standing in the dinghy bailing, bailing, bailing. Motor to the marina with our rain gear on in case it starts again. Walk to the bus stop. Bus to bus terminal. Wait for next bus. Bus to airport. Stand in line at ticket counter. Wait in car line to get out of airport. Believe it or not, we were underway by 10:00, arrived in Melbourne just after 1:00.

Our girls, Wendy, our dear friend from New Zealand, and Lily, drove from the Outer Banks to visit Wendy's sister. Couldn't let them get that close without a visit -- and lots of hugs and kisses! We've known Lily since she was minutes old. How fun to watch her grow into a little lady.

It's easy to see why people think we're sisters!


Got back to the boat just after midnight. A day very well spent.
