No wonder Spook comes home with a smile on his face every day. It is hard to imagine there is a Poo Works anywhere in the world in a more beautiful setting than this one! He always thought that of Fort William, but this is magnificent. Photographs don't do it justice.
We had to go out there to get his car as I've to drive with him in convoy to Queenstown tomorrow, to return the hire vehicle and come back in his current works one. We went out as the evening sun was setting and the moon out. The site is on a wide plain dotted with Poplar trees and a ring of mountains, some rounded, some jagged, some snow-capped and all beautiful. This helped to draw the eye away from the less savoury contents of the works! Breath-taking. (and I don't mean the smell). I just wanted to stare and soak it all up. (The view).
I then drove my first proper drive in New Zealand, back to Wanaka. Most cars here are automatic. It's like being chauffer driven and very pleasant. I went to the garage where you key in how much you want in $'s and it stops when you've got it. Handy. And for interests sake, I got 12 litres for $20. (divide by somewhere between 2.5 and 2.8 for the equivalent in sterling).
(Morning Nana, morning Granny.)
