Trip to NZ part 3

Lots of lovely bush - flax and more


Being brought up in Foxton, it reminded me of home


And more - all out in flower


And even some more


Loved the daisies too



We stopped for a cup of coffee at somewhere or another


We visited a few other good restaurants as well including Eggcentric (wonderful fish) but on our way back to Auckland changed our plans so we could pop into the Mussel Kitchen once more. Ian had the mussel chowder


And I had the battered mussels


Then I chanced upon a flower which fell at my feet when we were checking out the kauri trees on Road 309. Isn't it beautiful?



I left it carefully placed.




Let's finish with a back to London - no Ian didn't give these to me - he photographed them instead


And we found on our wanderings in Canary Wharf, a piano but not in the same condition as the ones in French train stations - such a fabulous idea
