Well what a fizzer our last day turned out to be! We awoke to heavy rain and a radar picture not showing anything favourable to being able to leave Invercargill today. After waiting until 11am the majority of the safari teams travelled on two buses to Mandaville Aerodrome for lunch where they experienced pleasant weather and great food. After checking the weather one last time it was decided that is was impossible to leave Invercargill by air and the safari teams were split up. One bus continued onto Queenstown our final destination, and the other returned to Invercargill to see what tomorrow brings.
Our cat team decided to stay together and remain in Invercargill for the night. We enjoyed an evening together reminiscing over the last ten days. Of the original nineteen crew that started out in Ardmore ten days ago, this evening we were down to thirteen. Five of those crew members are female, and only about half of the nineteen original crew actually had anything to do with flying before this adventure. It has been a real interesting journey and I have met some extremely fascinating people.
Tomorrow we hope to arrive in Queenstown by some form of transport for the final prize giving dinner. Will keep you posted on progress!
