What a concert!! The passion of Sting, Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland for their music shone through which added to our enjoyment. Their brilliance as musicians was beyond question, even after all these years. As ever, Sting's magnificent voice had everyone singing along and dedododo dedadada and yyyyeho were the order of the night. Champagne moments were many and included Walking on the Moon, Roxanne and especially Every Breath You Take.
We bopped until we dropped, sang until we were hoarse and were proud to know the words of every single song. So... middle aged? yes! but we have still got all our marbles.
We decided to fly from Tauranga to Wellington and enjoyed a really scenic flight from which we saw Lake Taupo and Mount Ruapehu, which still has snow on top of it despit NZ temperatures of at least 25 at the moment. Wellington, the windy city, was just that.....windy!!! We hired a car and drove back overnight and managed the 520Km in 7 hours. We were too exhausted to play our air guitars when we got back but we will jump around on Pride Rock and play them this evening as the sun goes down. Hakuna Matata!!
Talking of guitars, Sting's guitar must have been his original Police one as it was so worn and had almost no varnish left on it.
Sting has the brightest blue eyes in case you girls out there haven't noticed (an observation by Lynn and not Tom!) Gaynor..........we know you said you might never speak to us again if we went to see The Police but please do so that we can tell you more about the concert and Lynn can discuss his Fab blue eyes with you. The tour is almost over but perhaps you have time to get tickets for Tokyo? Is Tokyo far from Hong Kong?!
More to follow soon.............................................yyyyeho.
