Unleashed
into Western 'civilization' we hit the local Mexican restaurant
and the Globe Bar. Wayne got particularly excited by the cheap
sparkling wine and as you can see from the sign he became a bit
of a 'stray'.

The Bay of Islands
a stunning place even through the drizzle. We were hardy Brits and
enjoyed the rain! Above - spot the seals! |

We stayed with Jacquie
for 3 days on her parents farm in Putamaki. I got a handle on the
country ways and gave this sheep her last cuddle - when they said
they were going to slaughter it, I thought they'd wait until I left
the farm at least!!! Her remains were in the pig pen the next day. |

NZ really was the

The sulphur lakes
are very beautiful and interesting, and you could eat a curry the
night before and no one would notice. |
