It is getting near to the last day in July. I am lying in bed on a lazy Sunday morning, drinking tea and watching the clouds go by. Harry is down in the garage trying to find some screws. He came in with my cup of tea in hand sat on the bed and broke it. Yes you read correctly. A big snap, crackle and pop. As I lie here I am beginning to slide towards the left end of the bed. No doubt there will be orders to leave soon. But not before I have finished my cup of tea!!
I am practicing writing the blog lying in bed on my phone for a reason. There isn't much to say this month that the seasoned traveller will be interested in but there will be next month as we head for Africa. It takes a bit to remember I can only download one photo at a time, there is a unique way of getting into editor mode and that the predictive text can change the meaning of a sentence with very little effort. Read what you have written when you aren't jet lagged or had more than one glass of wine is lesson number one for the blog writing traveller.
The slippery slide to the floor has started. Once I am pushed out of bed or slide out depending which comes first we are off to Kathmandu. That's the best kiwi shop in the world not the highest mountain in the world. In the last month we have bought padlocks for our back packs, scam protectors for our money cards, and shoes for me. Today we are going to see if we can get walking poles that fold up like little umbrellas (our poles are too long for our packs) and some more bags for back packs (so we don't have to pull everything out to find a pair of socks).
We are then off to see Andre Rieu - not in person unfortunately but at the movies.
So now the rambling stops and photos begin. Yeah right you say!!
Don't you think the first photo is amazing? It could be anything from an invasion of flying saucers to a light show. On our way home from friends last Sunday we were driving along the motor way. A mere 50 km per hour due to the transmission gulley road works. There were some orange witches hats guiding cars going in both directions. There were hundreds of them. The colour is my cameras interpretation of what we saw that night.
The next photo is about brunch - my favourite meal. We met up with friends at the Botanist. Possibly the best vegetarian brunch place in the world not that I have been to many. I go for the avocado on toast which is as all mushed up with vegan cottage cheese, pine nuts and lots of other things. This is a photo of Peter's pancakes - visually the best dish we ordered. A great way to while away of few hours with friends. Something we do quite often.
Then there is the new TV we bought. We now have a smart one. We no longer can use our DVD player but who cares we now have net flicks. Now we have to find the time to watch more movies.
Another brunch place had this as a table number. Madagascar just where we are heading. And so we talked some more about our travels and then walked up the hill back to more paperwork.

Last photos. Wellington on a day I walked home. I am taking a photo from the same spot on those energetic days. Well almost the same spot - the trees tell me I need to paint little spots on the ground to place my feet or perhaps trees grow faster than I thought
And now a few days on we are sitting watching our new TV. We are all packed. Just a few little things to do like put out the rubbish and head for bed early for our 4.00 wake up call.
