Saturday 4th April Tane Mahuta

This morning after a full Scottish breakfast with haggis we set off to the Waipoua Forest where Tane Mahuta - God of the Forest lives:

Here we are disembarking:




Here he is wrinkled with age:


Here he is looking down on us:


Later we went a bit further down the road to find the Four Sisters - four big Kauris in a group:




Then we proceeded to a picnic lunch in the carpark:


Here is Glenna taking a photo of me taking a photo
and the rest enjoying a stand-up picnic:



The maintenance man in the course of collecting his rubbish had collected a body!


Once back home we got the barbecue dinner organised: Brian and Robyn's steak, baked potatoes and salad followed by Robyn's cheesecake for desert.

Christine had a bottle of Black Label Whisky that she was keen to share. The problem was to get the whisky out! It had a tricky little gadget inserted into the neck that only allowed a dribble, so Howard got serious with Brian's wrench while Christine watched anxiously. 


Then after  half an hour of struggling with it we discovered that if you held the bottle at the right angle it poured just fine!



In the evening we watched "Danny Boy" a Scottish comedian - very funny.
