DAY THIRTY EIGHT

One last photo from Manapouri on the way out. This wee bookshop is quite NZ famous. I'm sure you've seen it on TV or in magazines. Driver brought us to Gore today. Spotted these two old dears along the way. Took a wee detour to drive pass Samantha and James beautiful farm with gorgeous rural views. Not home for us to visit. ☹️ Then a stop at Mandeville where driver was able to fulfill a dream with a 15min Tigermoth flight. Note the mile wide smile.😄 Crossed that off the bucket list.✍️ The weather was perfect for the flight with a beautiful cloudless blue sky, sunshine and no wind. Actually after all the rain and cold we had last week the 🌞 is very welcome and almost too hot. Driver was very pleased to find the bakery we visited last time we were in Gore is still operating and still has delicious donuts. 😋
We are free camping at the RSA tonight so will dress up and dine in the restaurant. Very impressive building with a wall of amazing murals. A sit down is always needed after a town walk about in the heat. 🥵Read more
