The Captain & the Navigator
The Captain and the Navigator flew across the sea
Landed in an upside down world where they could ski
They travelled in a white Wonderbus all over the land
With smiles on their faces but no route planned.

Their adventures took them to the furthest point north
Long windy roads that went back and forth
At the top they saw sand dunes and big trees
By which point the Captain said "give me a straight road, please!"

They went North to head South
Where the Navigator laid a kiss upon the captain's mouth
“I love you” she said and looked at the map
"This way captain, we're on the right track"

They continued their journey and climbed Mount Doom
Which was unique with steaming volcanic fumes
More driving took them to a hunter's cabin
In a dark sleepy forest where stories happen...

They left Lower Hutt and arrived in Wellington,
Listened to Blues then continued to Nelson
The following day the Captain led the way up St Arnaud's track
Then they ate stag chilli in a wooden shack.

It didn't matter that it was cold and dark
It was a beautiful evening in a star filled National Park
It was a beautiful evening in a star filled National Park
They wrapped themselves up toasty and warm
For that was the coldest night of them all.
Onwards they travelled beside the Pacific sea
Eating crayfish and chips for their tea
The Captain felt sick when surfing the waves
And more so when the clutch failed and van misbehaved.

A Mechanic called Dicko fitted a new shiny clutch
And off they went to a city that shakes too much
The Captain had his first ever Mexican meal
Full of flavour and spice that had a yummy appeal.

Lake Tekapo, Mount Cook and Queenstown they saw
Before arriving in Wanaka with its lake at it’s core
The Mountains looked bare without any snow
And they pondered where all the skiers and snowboarders go?

Winter arrived and they assumed their roles
The Captain running the cafe serving pies and rolls
The Navigator selling lift passes and lessons
Whilst marking maps of cafés with their delicatessens .

They watched the sunrise each morning in the mountains,
Then later visited the Water Bar with it’s beer fountains,
On their days off they explored some more
Sometimes flying fifteen thousand feet to the floor!

The Navigator feels so lucky to have a Captain like you
Who makes her smile and laugh a lot too
I hope your birthday is as special as you
I can't wait to see where our next adventures takes us too...
