Daniel could not meet us at the airport but left his car at Devonport for us to use for the week. Thanks Dan, has the bumper been repaired yet? This was all arranged as we sat in Abu Dhabi airport. Plan B was to text Peter to see if he could pick us up. It was the first he knew that we were even on our way and his response confirmed that we had made the right decision “I will be there u crazy wonderful people”

Great to see Pete at the airport

Sad to see Ginny in hospital

Great to see her home again a few days later

Sad to see her so weak

Great to have a little hope for the future

Sad that we cannot be there to help

Great to see the boys again

Great to stay with Tony and Jean

Great to go out for dinner in Devonport (photo above)

Fantastic to see Vince at home and free

Great to see our new house almost finished

Sad that we cannot live there (yet)

Sad to leave New Zealand

Great to have spent time with our wonderful sons and fantastic friends.
