made a booboo... leaving teanau for scenic drive to the southland.. rolling green hills.. landscape goes from ireland, scotland to british walks.. more sheep.. they dot the green fields.. saw some extra big sheep. stopped in a town with a thrift shop.. joan introduced herself and her friend milly who helped her.. fb found 2 books.. running low.. one about whiskey galore... a monster in a lake that gets killed by a flying saucer.. whiskey galore was the first movie that mildred durham showed in her movie course at ncccc.. great one.... the town with this thrift shop.. tuatapere.. was unique.. older buildings.. run down but character .. it was the sausage center of n.z... but there were no stores open for sausage...
people start late in morning.. no earlier than 9 and that is early for them... it doesnt get light til then in the winter..
starting to feel a scottish influence .. invercargill the town we stopped in had some nice old scottish looking buildings.. the hostel we ended up in did too.. it was great looking but abit cool feeling.. uninviting.. people real quiet except for one girl making a puzzle... fb had to ask one kid not to do his was at 11 pm... kid ot happy.. but no laundry after 9 says sign... our room nearby.. kid stopped.. mean ole mister fairbs.. eh
we went to museum.. near nice city park.. saw movie of fastest indian..burt monroes, his car and motorcycle there.. tim... he lived in invercargill... next stop antartica.. and the documentary very close to the movie... said he was abit of a ladies man.. a workaholic and perfectionist.. wanted to race this car and wouldnt give up for anything.. very driven... invercargill kind of a big city.. seemed like more than 50,000.. it had lots of stores and seemed busy.. houses cute.. scottish.. small... museum .. kids.... had lots of fossils.. some paintings.. free.. only donation expected.. and HENRY THE LIZARD.. over 100 years old.. he just became a father again.. we saw the little chitlins.. he just had surgery for a tumor and ready to rock and roll... big fella... henry went for a long time without...having his second batch of kids.. but they changed his climate.. tried other methods and henry had his little lizards... congrats henry...
