Botanic Gardens
A nice sunny day for a walk in the gardens. The roses are at their best.



A big yellow thing....

Lots of other flowers...

A chaffinch and one of many ducks.

Rotorua and Wellington Tour
On 30th December I took a tour group of people and their kids from Auckland to Rotorua, then to Wellington in a 50 seater Leopard coach (2007 Volvo B12B). They were a very nice group to be with and I enjoyed their company. They seemed to like my commentary and sledgehammer wit. They had a great few hours on Mt Ngongotaha, up on the gondola, a nice lunch and some luge rides. Here's a couple of phone camera pics. Who invented these awful cameras?
