So we have been here for two weeks, and it's time for a post of pix that didn't quite make the prime time.
|
At an impressive junque shoppe somewhere on
the Canterbury plain |
|
In Geraldine, the world's largest jersey/knit sweater (certified
by Guinness) |
|
Same shoppe, the Medieval Mosaic, the world's largest
replica of the Bayeux Tapestry...done in sheet metal
mosaic...including a conjectured final 24 panels (missing
from the original); obviously a must-see for us |
|
Up closer; where else but New Zealand? |
|
One of my favorite panels, Harold taking an arrow in the eye |
|
In case you have never seen a Guinness
certificate (I never had), go to Geraldine,
where Michael and Rachael have two |
|
Apparently we're not the only Mark and Vicki pair around;
here, in an alley in Palmerston South |
|
The Canterbury Plain and much of eastern South Island are
flattish and wind-swept; you're almost always in sight of a
wind-break; here, an aerial view on our approach to landing
in Christchurch |
|
Here, not far from Ranfurley, the longest wind-break we've
seen so far...more than a mile, up and down hills... |
|
Grim reminder...drop, cover, hold...drop, cover, hold... |
|
Fruity Cromwell, en route to Wanaka |
|
Kiwis obviously spend their off hours thinking
up ever more adventuresome things to charge
tourists for |
|
Thus |
|
In a land awash in sheep, treats for the dogs |
|
And finally, something that probably warrants its own post,
the great Bra Fence in Cardrona; where else but New Zealand? |

Love your out-take photos. The bra fence is great...only in New Zealand for sure!
