On Friday Dave went out fly fishing with Jason from Trout Beck Fishing Lodge in the Whanganui River. They had a successful day fishing together in the chilly weather. Dave got 3 fish and Jason got 5. All 8 fish were between 6 and 9 pounds, which is an awesome catch in the river. After a nice day on the river, they headed home, and quickly found themselves pulled over with a flat tire. Seems like a simple problem, but.... not only did it start raining on them, they couldn't seem to get the tire off. From being on the truck so long the tire had seized itself on. After putting in lots of effort, they unloaded the 4-wheeler and drove down the road to get a post from a nearby farm. They were able to beat the tire off the rim with the force of the post and complete the change in the cold wind and rain. Jill stayed back at the lodge to relax and prepare for the next leg of the journey. Saturday Dave tried a bit of fly fishing, but the torrential rain from Friday night made the river and lake stirred up and murky. So, we packed up the car and headed to Auckland to check into a hotel near the airport. Our flight leaves tomorrow morning at 7am, so we will be up bright and early to get to the airport at 5. Tomorrow will be a long day of traveling with 2 flights and a ferry ride to our destination. We are stoked!!! We'll check in from Australia next.
