Weekend break










Went up to Glenorcy on a mini adventure with Roz and Q. Stayed in Roz's mums caravan that is kept up there it was amazing had a power shower and a dishwasher, so no really slumming it! boys went fishing and the girls read and sunbathed. did a bit of 4X4 offroading and managed to dirty the truck and lose some bits of the wheels oh no!Visited a place called Paradise and passed the set to the new Narnia film and saw all the big trailors and caravans. They were also planting hundreds of lupins at the side of the woods as i guess it was ment to be spring in the movie because there were no flowers like that anywhere else! The boys didn't catch any fish, bit dissapointing as the area is know n for the best salmon fishing in NZ, but a man did just lend them his boat while they were stood at the side of the lake. Had a couple of BBQ's and scoffed lots of burgers,corn and sausages (snags over here). Well the sun shone the whole weekend and it was beautifully hot.
