Conferencing by the lake

I had an Aglow conference to go to at the weekend

and so my GKB graciously drove me 

and a friend to Te Anau to attend.

This is distance of several hundred kilometres 

which took about four hours including a lunch stop.

Te Anau is situated on the side of Lake Te Anau 

and I would like to tell you that this was the view 

from our lakeside motel, but alas, it was not.

No, twas this :(  

We had a back unit, but never mind, we weren't 

there to look at the view from the motel window.

Te Anau is the jumping off point for tourists heading

  to Milford Sound and the surrounding area, 

so it was interesting to people watch 

as I was eating my breakfast. Some caught buses 

and others were walking into the Town Centre

with their back packs.

The hotel the conference was held in was really 

nice but not so posh that you felt out of place.

Geoff Bear was in the foyer.

On Saturday night we had a dinner and my GKB 

attended with me. That's him on the left beside our friend.

Not many men there but we did have 

another man at our table for him to talk to.

The food was beautiful, cold salmon, 

a selection of hot meats, salads and hot vegetables.

Afterwards there was a selection of cold desserts 

that were replenished as fast as they were eaten. 

It was too easy to overeat , unfortunately :)

especially when there were things I had never tried 

and thought this was my opportunity to do so. 

Oh well, I'll just have to watch what I eat now I'm home again.

joining in the parties at:

Blue Monday

and

Wake up Wednesday

Have a wonderful week, 

take care until next time.
