Got back to Welli late yesterday after a road trip from Auckland with the most gorgeous dogs, cats, birds, chickens, even a goat named Nigel.
But I had a fantastic time with the lovely Karyn from The Pet Bus. Below are some of furry critters I met along the way (I swear to God, I almost put that Cocker Spaniel puppy in my handbag when I came home - he was ADORABLE).
As an aside, how freaking stunning is this wee country of ours? It's been an age since I've taken the slow road from the top of the North Island to the bottom. I'm usually flying over it, in a hurry to get in or out of the country. And even though the landscape is scorched dry, it was wonderful to visit places I haven't been to in years. Yes, yes, yes, I know I'm banging the cliched drum, but we really don't know how lucky we are in little ole Aotearoa.

so glad you had so much fun. I know what you mean re: seeing the beauty of the country. It really is a scenic drive. Its been ages since I have done it too. I bet the South Island will be even more extraordinary? Catherine
ReplyDeleteI wish I had been able to do the South Island too but the small matter of work and other commitments meant I had to get off the bus in Wellington. Oh well...so much fun and well worth doing. And you should defo get out and do a road trip - I know it's one of those things that's easy to talk about but harder to do. But it's so, so worth it. SSx
