Impatient

 


I was walking to one of the local supermarkets last week before work and couldn't help but notice this tourist on the right pacing back and forth looking at his phone. This scene is next to the train station so I wonder if he was waiting for a taxi or for a friend to pick him up.

Happy

 

These are popular vehicles in New Zealand. We saw these 2 at Fox River last weekend sitting in the carpark. Many tourists will rent these campavans from various companies to travel around in. 


I'm pleased to say that this particular weekend was stinking hot and throughout the year we see alot of them travelling but in Summer they increase. Tourists are always nice people who love to chat with the locals.

Friendly

 


Last week I was in town checking out a new shop named "Ginger Rose" which has been in business for a while but I'd never been in. I have trouble finding a decent shampoo for my hair so I was pleased to see they stocked herbal shampoo bars so I bought one to try out.

On my way back to my car I was stopped by some very friendly but anxious tourists who had just come off the Tranzalpine train who were searching for a taxi as there were none around so I called the local ones who were very quick and picked them up within 5 minutes. It's nice to help others.

Summer is nearly at an end when March comes although we have had some amazing hot temperatures over February. I heard from a friend who lives further south in Ashburton, she said they had snow a few days ago with 2 degree temperatures at night. Summer in the Southern Hemisphere has been weird this year.
