PHOTOS - 1

I am not sure how many photos i can publish each time so here is an instalment

two views of PICTON
this is the ferry port for South Island. it is a beautiful little town that most people just drive through on the way to other destinations.   Well worth stopping off for the restaurants alone.

this is HOT WATER BEACH at Waikato on the Coromandel Peninsula (North Island).
this is where people rent spades from the locals to dig holes in the sand at low tide.  the holes fill up with luke warm water from underground springs and they then sit in the holes with a smug expression.  the competion for the best spot was intense...i did not participate

my first attempt at a selfie with my selfie stick
Cathedral Cove is in the background

HUKA falls which provides about 30% of the electricity in NZ
this photo does not really do it justice...suggest that you google Huka Falls and look at the website.

a local tin of beans note the similarity to HEINZ that is because they own the Company but never changed the name

two shots from the south bound ferry in the Queen Charlotte Sound (South Island)

i took over four hundred photos so there will be more to follow but finally in this instalment  for the animal lovers..the following  two chaps or maybe girls
