Day One - recorded Day 4

Well - here is the start of Sally's incredible journey...

I was collected from Claire by these two yuppies (Jaffas) from Auckland on Monday and after a lovely lunch with them at Lydia's I couldn't resist talking them by one of my favourite haunts - McGlashin's Brewery in Stoke for a small refreshing glass of beer and raspberry cider. Yumm!

Then it was off through Nelson, calling in to a dairy for a delightful couple of ice creams and then on through the Rai Valley (swim for Nysa in the river) and on to Blenheim to stay with my old friends Gino and Heather Rocco at Uno Piu for the night. I was allowed out for dinner to a fancy new restaurant called Raupo in the heart of the Blenheim on the side of the river. Yum food - Salmon for all of us.

Talk to you tomorrow!!!
