Takaka - Blenheim

A hilarious night in Takaka where the All Wallies, Bash teams and the locals were entertained by stand up comedians Ewan Gilmour and Pauly T at the Junction Hotel. The beers (and Baileys) flowed freely and the ribs ached from laughing so it was a weary crew that headed off to Havelock. Marbles, Ralph and Stetler tried to replace Insomniac in the car with “Tools” from the Naki Boyz but after a short interlude, where Insomniaic missed out on Breaky, normal transmission was resumed.
It was a very picturesque drive around the coast and the Mussel laden lunch in Havelock was well received. It was then a short drive to a fun stop where teams tried to see how many people they could get into one T shirt. (The record was 10)
Then it was a quick run around to Picton where all the vehicles lined up for parade through the main street. After this it was off to Blenheim for dinner tonight at the Brancott (Montana) Winery before catching the Ferry tomorrow (another sore head probably in store).
