A debate over who would ride on the bike with me to do a
list of errands that Di dreqmed up. Breakfast and off into it, first up Ben.
The rain started fairly heavily after we got a few minutes down the road. We
went and got some cash out, then into town for some petrol, then back to the
Tumanu resort to book the Island night for Thursday. There was a large cruise
ship mored off the coast and a small boat shuttling people in to Aitutaki for
the day. Back home and the engine was barely swotched off and Danielle was on
the back of the bike and we were off to get some groceries, which involved
going to three shops around the island to get most of what we needed. By the
time we got back I was very cold from all of the motorcycleing in the rain.
Andrew and Diedre called around for a visit, I offered a
coffee, but Andrew was in more of a mood for Gin and pulled a bottle out of his
car and poured us all a drink. Mid day is a bit early for me, but it was very
nice all the same. Larry poped in with some mangoes and a newspaper, and got
roped intot he midday gin drinking, compenting it must be 5 o’clock somewhere.
Lazy afternoon at the house and on the beach. Larry warned
us of heavy wind overnight. Late in the afternoon Richard phoned to tell us
that the wind would get up in the night and to move the beds away from the
windows! We had a nice night of playing cards and battening down the hatches
for what was likely to be cyclonic conditions in our imaginations.
