🙂 Spouse Entitlement Visa

🙁 Last night in NZ

We headed into town and I collected my passport from the British Embassy – visa all ok and approved – woo!hoo! Drove to Indonesian Embassy and dropped passport there for visa application – pretty good considering that when we had booked flights South African citizens were not even allowed to visit Indonesia! :-0 Went to pub called Loaded Hog to celebrate! Had hair cut, dinner of bangers and mash.

In morning we did school and then drove to Mt Teranaki after driving the coastal circuit.

Drove to Visitor Centre for boring audio visual presentation. Bought hut passes and headed off to Makatewa Hut – reminded us of Rwenzoris! Easy walk… at hut wrote 17 postcards around the world and Trent did school. Paul drew house plans.

Woke up – miserable, cloudy, damp and no views! ran down mountain! Zoomed to Auckland – stopped off at Paul and Nikk’s in Henderson and had a great evening – love their farmland .. played with Ryan – very lovely evening and last night in NZ!
