New Zealand Out-Takes, 2023: Part The Second

All NZ's national sports teams have names that allude to the rather
more famous All Blacks rugby team...these are the Tall Blacks
doing a haka

Interesting dam we drove across on the North Island...

No outlet, no power generation...just diverts the river down a
different canyon

Yeah, right, you're going to go 60mph on these narrow, twisty
roads, dodging the slips...

Nothing ever thrown away...old defunct TV with a flat screen
inside

Fortunately, it takes very little to make some people happy

War canoe sculpture at a local museum

Irish pub in Feilding...don't think this would fly
in Dublin

Kiwi for lay-away

Southernmost fans of the southern-most team

Sic transit, Gloria...a KFC has replaced the NZ banlk
but now even the KFC has gone under

Zebra building, Wellington

Skateboard parking at Te Papa

More Wellington sculpture...windy and wet

Riley Elf...I'd heard of them, but never seen one...

Designed to be an upscale Austin Mini...30,000 were built 1961-
1969 before Riley went under; rare and modestly collectible

City utilities of the world...

Kiwi for bus stop

On this blog you have learned of torpedo-fishing; here is drone-
fishing: the drone carries your hook, line, sinker, and bait out
beyond the the wild Tasman surf and drops it where you want
it, then flies back for more...also takes videos of the adventure;
so how much fish could you buy at the market for $4,000?

Maybe drone-fishing would strengthen my fishing skills

We ate well in Welly...here is the Peking duck at
Peking House; sadly, I forgot to document the best
pizza since Naples and the best Negroni since Milan
at Pizzeria Napoli; also the great table-cooked steaks
at Southern Cross

Banned in Boston

Pesky pedestrian ambushes

Sunset and clearing skies at Ngati Toa

Gotta get me one of these

Read and be enlightened about cockroach marketing...
at a Welly alternative store
