Our final few days in New Zealand,  we helped Paul and his friends clear out the non native weeds from his steep hillside garden - we are sure they were the only things holding the soil in so the next downpour will probably see his house sliding away into the bay below. Everyone in NZ is so anti anything brought in by the early settlers. Even the council provide leaflets on destroying (Ethnically Cleansing!) non native flora and fauna - it won't be long before they start sending themselves home!!
We popped into our first Superette having previously been to a dairy (Newsagents) on our way back from the beach. We have even seen Megah Superettes!
We continue our theme of eating on the move with dinner in the revolving restaurant at the top of the sky tower.
Big thank you to Paul and Michael for letting us stay with them
Next stop Sydney, from where we hope to be able to post home our waterproof clothing!
