Free shuttle bus to airport, then plenty of time to kill so we walk Mascot’s main street, including drinks at Tennyson Pub where the barmaid is friendly and the patrons rough. As we disembark at White Bay Terminal a customs lady insists we place one hand on the rail as go down the escalator. Bloke goes by wearing ‘Beware I know Karate’ t-shirt. Mark pretends to see whales out to sea and has other passengers searching madly for a sighting. There is no life in the audience, which is not the fault of the singers. Tonight Marie and I attend ‘British Invasion’ musical in Princess Theatre. Sam said he met Pauline Hanson on a previous visit to Akaroa. I chat to Sydney comedian, Sam McCool, a former Waverly College student who counts prominent journalist, Phil Heads among his former classmates. The trip back across the Tasman starts today.
One couple had moved to Bay of Islands from Christchurch after the quake. A couple of drinks in the Yacht Club before getting our tender back to the ship. Marie tells our waitress (from Moggill in Brisbane) they are the worst she has ever eaten. To Splash Bar for whitebait fritters, a favourite of Marie’s since she lived in NZ back in the early 70s.

The first time I saw women’s tennis was back in late 1960s when a classmate at Murwillumbah High, Phil Snedden, invited me to a family outing to Milton in Brisbane to see one of their relatives, Kerry Melville play. Go to tennis at The Domain where we see Coco Vandeweghe from the USA beats Kirsten Flipkens (Belgium) and then the first set of Radwanska v Hantuchova. Walk through Albert Park where a menacing group of young Maori block a path while drinking grog.

Backpack on the floor of the public bar has been there three days and has not been claimed! Move instead to Lone Star Bar which features a series of photos of the Magnificent 7 – seven tries scored in a famous rugby union win by Hawkes Bay over Waikato in 1967. No local pilsener and the Wild Duck Lager is warm. Hawkes Bay Brewery outlet is unimpressive. Walk up very steep Tiffen Park where possum baiting is going well. Napier today, and the locals are outfitted in 1930s gear to welcome us to this art deco town.
