The Kiwis - Chapter 7
Dear
Breadheads: Well, I guess it's time for another journal entry
from the road. It's just been a bit difficult to find the
time. We've had a pretty hectic schedule so far. We just finished
our first two concerts in Christchurch, New Zealand. The performances
were held in the town hall, which has unbelievable acoustics.
And needless to say, all the Breadheads in Christchurch were
there in force. What a great crowd! If you've read earlier
entries, I'm sure you remember me writing about, what I call,
"Rules of the Road".
Well, here's another one for you; kind of like Murphy's law.
After a short flight from Christchurch to Wellington, David,
Larry and I were driven to our hotel. At first I thought that,
since we were the only ones in the lobby, the rest of our
entourage had been delayed at the airport. Well after about
fifteen minutes, we inquired about our rooms only to find
out that our driver had dropped us off at the wrong hotel.
I've been on the road a lot of years but this was a first.
The rules of the road dictate that if this should happen it
will occur when you're dead tired and it's your first day
off. IT DID!! You know it's close to Thanksgiving but I'm
not sure what we're going to do for a "traditional turkey
day dinner". They don't have cranberries down here and I'm
not sure about pumpkin pie either. So I guess we'll have lamb
instead of turkey.
After all, it is true; there's more sheep here than people.
Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving to all you Breadheads back home
and I'll write again soon.
Bye for now .... from BOTTS!
