Lake Taupo

Got it! 4.5lb Trout

Nearly got it!

Cheeky the Chicken (just for you Val)

Cheeky's Place. It used to be an old science lab desk but Paul worked his magic on it!

She's a Rhode Island Red apparently!

Life at the pad

Georges first go on the Biscuit (rubber ring thing that goes on the back of the boat)

Georges new pals from next door - Toby (on the left), Jonty (middle), and George

on the right. Toby is one week older than George.

The chef at work.

Stand back, Paul is about to light the barbeque for the first time!

The Water Gardens

This is the water gardens at Rapaura. This is also in the Coromandel Penninsular and quite a spiritual experience.

The Boat

(Pauls new toy!)
This is "Finisterra", our little boat....She's old, but sweet! We've had a few teething problems with her - the throttle cable jammed on our inaugural voyage, which was a bit scary, but Paul the mechanic has fixed her now (see, all those hours of fiddling with his motorbike paid off)
