Tuesday 18th April.
We had a leisurely pack-up in Picton - although Duncan decided that the meusli was tainted with the varnish fumes from when we had our cork tiles recoated and we had to throw it out. Had a stroll around the camping ground before we left.

The last part of the road to Nelson is quite winding, but we had a good trip through to 175 Nile Street. This provided us with roomy accommodation - even a pool with a cover which was still warm enough to use.

Duncan went to the airport to collect the Hamilton contingent while Jill and I went to the supermarket (lovely to have her pay - that was part of the deal) and then we cooked up roast chicken and veges for tea. Duncan won the 500.
Wednesday 19th April
Claudia began the day in fine form and then spewed up breakfast which lead to a bit of dithering as to what we would do today. We decided to go for a walk in the hope that Jackie could catch up on a bit of sleep. Duncan Millie and I went and booked tickets to "Anything Goes" as Millie wanted to compare it to her school's production while the others went to the supermarket.
After lunch we sent a contingent off to do procarting at Tahunanui.

| Millie, Alex, Rua and Theo put on their hairnets!! |

It wasn't long before Duncan Simon and I joined them at the large park area at Tahunanui Beach. Late in the afternoon the wind came up so we didn't play on the beach too long. Theo and I decorated an Easter cake while Simon and Rua made burritos and nachos Simon won the 500 - another long session!
