Walkabout in Invercargill

Today was a day on reflection.  My father departed this life peacefully in his 94th year.  Sad but glad he does not have to suffer any more his timing could have been a little better.  Bless you Dad.  My only sister was in Shanghai in China and I am in Invercargill.  Planning a funeral from so far away is not easy.  I spent a lot of time on the internet trying to get flights to Wellington for next Thursday’s funeral.  Not easy but finally achieved and I will return to Derek and our motorhome on Saturday week in Queenstown.

In the meantime I will stay with the group until next Wednesday and fly out early that morning from Invercargill.  We plan to visit Bluff tomorrow and at the weekend head for Gore.
