John accompanies us up his driveway.
Ready to leave for the next course way out in Point England.
Thank you Briar and John for your hospitality.
Leaving the boardwalk across Orakei Basin, at Meadowbank.
The view in the other direction.
Arriving in Riverside Avenue.
Some enjoyed their porridge or muesli out on the deck.
Making ready to depart for yet another course.
But before we got away John had to say a few words of thanks to Susan & Ron for their hospitality
The coffees are being drunk and the food is starting to arrive at the Lucky Café.
Di gets another shot.
A bungle of bicycles.
Empty plates! A good sign!!
And then it was time to head away - yet another great ACTA Progressive Breakfast becomes history.
