After checking with the golf pro, we just managed to get ahead of the first group of ladies and onto the course by about 9.00 am.
The green fee of $35, $15 more than McLeans seemed a little expensive as the course wasn't a lot better. Longer though with the fairways being wider and the greens about the same. Trish found 6 par 5's a bit of a challenge but Len had a particularly good round with a net 64!
After a shower ( Trish had to leap out of hers quickly as the drain was blocked and the water was close to creeping under the shower room door into the ladies change area!) some lunch and collecting some toilet "bombs" from the RV Centre we drove on to Papanui RSA and connected to power.
There were 2 other motorhomes already parked when we arrived, one being a large bus which looked set to stay for quite a few days or weeks.
Being so close to the town centre and having a dump station, we decided to stay for 2 nights. Our second day, which was very wet, was spent shopping and watching Bohemian Rhapsody at the comfortable theatre with it's recliner seats in the local Mall. That evening we had a tasty roast beef dinner in the RSA.

Next morning we dumped our waste and headed to Helen and Bill's old house where we were leaving the bus for a week while we flew back to the Mount for Christmas with the family. The parking was rather tight with the narrow drive, overhanging trees and a newly erected fence creating a right angle hazard - it took a while to get into the right place with instructions coming from 2 directions and often with opposing advice!
