day trips

National Park..... pretty much the middle of the North Island on one of my trips.
And below, the Chateau I keep thinking I should go and spend a weekend in. It's pretty lush on the inside.... velvet curtains, a grand piano in the lounge area.... I think it would be fun, though perhaps lavish?


And these guys..... well.... some of the balloons at the fiesta back in April.
I've been awfully slow!
