"Hi Peieta, I just wanted to send you a big thank you for a fantastic week! All 5 of us agreed it was one of the best holidays that we had ever been on. The landscape was absolutely beautiful and the days were jam packed … but it was the people that made it so terrific. Leesa was made for the role of tour leader with her non-stop enthusiasm and vivacious laugh. Trevor, well what can I say except I am sure the man was born on Krypton. I would love to be at the master games to see him in the mountain bike comp! Had we been in Cunnamulla longer we would have loved to have spent more time with Chris and Michael, and with Reid and Robyn, and your family (I include Loretta in this) were so hospitable it was unbelievable! We really felt like we were visiting old friends, rather than being 'on tour'."
