    Palmerston North

    March 7 in New Zealand ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    We had a lovely coffee stop in Palmerston North on our drive east today. We were lucky to find rural games taking place there. Local inter schools competitions were happening there, too, with senior boys competing in sheep shearing competitions and field sports. Happy spending an hour wandering around taking in the atmosphere.Read more
