More pics from the holiday

This is the first night at Lake Rotoiti, with just five of us, and oh joy, FISH and CHIPS for dinner. We got these from the local dairy, where two older ladies served and made the chips - it took ages, because she did each order separately, but hey, they were delish.
When I finally got to Te Awamutu and Peter's place, I plunged headlong into this pool which I believe was rarely used despite it's alluring appearance.
A view from the top paddock about the Graydon homestead. Mt Pirongia in the distance. The horizon line was pretty much like this all the way around. Amazing. Not a highrise in sight.
And here is the new owner/manager of Ngaroto Nurseries, looking like he'd rather be elbow deep in the dirt. He was soon enough but it's proof I was there.
