David - wonderful stalk! We are now on our way to Port chalmers, gateway to Dunedin.

We had a full day excursion with High Country Explorers. They transported us from the Lyttleton dock to the Flock Hill station. We boarded Jet Boats to ride up the river for transfer to 4x4 vehicles up onto the high plateaus. Only problem was, weather was coming in and the river was rising rapidly. We, as is our wont, stayed at the back of the line. The first boatload had to remove shoes to board from the water soaked jetty. Our driver hooked up the tractor, pulled our boat out of the water, and we boarded from the rocky shore. By the time the ride was over, we felt the rain picking up steam. The fleet of five vehicles (with the port a potty trailing from the largest of them) departed for the high country. We saw lots of cattle and sheep/lambs. Lunch was at the Flock Hill Lodge. We had chicken, beef and lamb with six different sauces.

Upon our return from Flock Hill, it was time for trivia. We had a new player, Allan from Australia, join us. One other team objected, as they contended an additional Aussie took us beyond the 8 maximum on a team. Each Aussie evidently counts for 2 players apiece. We did decline to point out the aussie superstar team would, therefore, constitute 16 players.

We took second place, following our clear cut victory for yesterday. We are accumulating tokens at a rapid rate. Here's your tie breaker question: Which Beatles song was banned by Iran for having a title which suggested an illegal activity?

Cheers, Anne
