Finished off with a stiff G&T on the deck at the lodge. Tonic water for the anti malarial properties# and gin of course to make the tonic palatable.

# yes, I know it doesn’t have quinene any more.

Needs some work, but we finished it.

Buffet menu. interestingly, everywhere we went there was a menu but the individual dishes, baies marie etc. are not labelled..

i’m happy to say I’ve introduced the family I am travelling with with a product called Doom. A mosquito insecticide. They were unfamiliar with the practice of spraying a room for mozzies.
 
On to the Whangarei office where the NZ weather was living up to its reputation.

Always good to be at a rugby ground that still has a hill.

It gives a ground a soul.

Referees are always full of helpful and encouraging pre-match advice for their mates, “what every you do out there, just don’t f#*% up”. 👍

Sadly the NZ weather did not make for a good scrum day.

Whangarei, New Zealand.

For the record, Northland 35 def. Manawatu 18 and the refereeing was outstanding. 😉
