So what have you done today..?

Cut the bloody lawn again
Damn thing keeps growing

 

Food looks amazing. Scenery is alright I suppose!

 

You should have taken a picture before you ate it all, bloody tease!

 

@Poucher We really like NZ. My brother lives in Red Beach just outside Auckland. We've done two trips, hardly scratched the surface.

 

I only had a couple of days there and it had a great vibe about the place..
Would love to get back for a month with a car and have a good tour of North and South islands.
My cousin says come back any time, so I might formulate a tour plan for a couple of years time, great place

 

Not fond of the pimientos de padron then Terry ? Andy

 

Hire a camper/ motor home from Auckland and head south taking in all the sights on the way. The camp sites are very well catered but when I did this I interspersed the trip with hotels here and there.
The South Island is especially beautiful
Try six to eight weeks, I found that was enough time not to rush through.

 

Good idea I likes a bit of camping

 

One of my plans when I retire. We did Auckland and surrounding for 3 weeks 18 years ago, about time we went back

 

Gave myself a haircut. It hasn’t gone well.

 

Spent the day at Sand Bay near Weston, walking and more walking.

 

Drove to Iverfarigaig on the banks of Loch Ness. It turns out that the name, Inverfarigaig, is Gaelic for “the arse end of nowhere”.

 

Exchanged three old paper format £20 bank notes for new ones, they were a misprint & staff took forever to accept them.

 

It did. There are. I won’t be posting…
