Our dear friend Damien was here on  his way to the  Porsche Car Club meet at Taupo.
He was very generous, and that day gave Christian the driver’s seat, and  later on Hugh
drove for a short while on  their way back from Kimbolton, Apiti and surrounding areas.
Here is Laurie from  Ngongotaha, on her way south for a few weeks of  rest, ( not sure about that??) stitching and travel.

Hi Is your garden a place for travelers to stay or do you know these people. Looks like they are having a great time. Cheers

Hi, we have a large garden and home, and run a B&B, and have motorhomes or campervans stay. Most are visitors to New Zealand from overseas, but we also meet lovely people from here in NZ. We are 2 hours from Wellington, so it suits those who are on their way to the Ferry Crossing or to the Airport.it is great to meet others , and I have learnt so much about their countries., and also about other parts of NZ. Cheers from Jean.

I'm not sure that I knew you had a B&B as well, Jean! You sure do keep busy. It's great to talk to people from other countries and cultures - I am enjoying my Chinese student.

Checking out your guests' blogs painted a lovely image of your area. The vast landscapes are a bit similar to my area. What a hike it was to the lighthouse! That is definitely not for the weak-hearted.
