My Half Day off, in New Plymouth

Local flowers.



Two cars from AmeriCARna day. A yearly festival over here, where hundreds of cars go on show. But unfortunately I missed it due to working late!!!

The native bird of New Zealand, the 'Kiwi'. Well a stuffed one, due to the fact that these birds are becoming an endangered species.
