I have many cousins in NZ because two uncles of mine emigrated from Holland in the '50s and ended up with a slew of kids between them -- my cousins.<br /><br />And although I've lived in a number of countries around the world and traveled in more,I've never been to New Zealand! shame on me. Another Dutch cousin of mine, one who ended up in the US, just came back last week from visiting NZ for 2 months and called me. I had to pretend my house was on fire to get off the phone ;) because she wouldn't quit talking about how gorgeous the country is!<br /><br />If only it weren't so FAR away from Europe and the East Coast USA! Then maybe I'd move there too!Miss Footloosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15601892611652195901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2007105981868145103.post-60223082466504454502010-01-24T19:39:54.666+13:002010-01-24T19:39:54.666+13:00I love the Hunderwasser toilets.

Especially when watching the police sweep on them every now and then (some locals decide occasionally to plant some naughty grass on the roof). <br />One VERY important bit you missed out though is the bakery at Kawakawa. BEST. Cream. donuts. EVER! Truthfully - and I've been to a heck of a lot of bakeries in NZ. When I lived in Whangarei we would drive up there solely to get our hands on the donuts.

I was driving through to Kaikohe from Whangarei for a work meeting and my colleague insisted we stop there and look around. The architecture is quite stunning, considering they are public toilets. Unless I saw them for myself, I wouldn't have believed anyone saying how wonderful they are!Caffeinated Wekahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07235662962500264686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2007105981868145103.post-83951394981721383772010-01-19T20:58:52.968+13:002010-01-19T20:58:52.968+13:00You got some great photos!

When living (3yrs) in the UK, I never got to Stonehenge, and I never saw the changing of the guard... but I went to sheep fairs, Hadrian's wall, street festivals, breweries, etc, Much more interesting.<br />I liked the "world famous toilets". I agree - lines should not be straight. I have always wanted to do a garden wall and path in concrete and random tile mosaic. (If I ever settle down and own a garden) Now I have another element to consider... columns, with high gloss enamel!
