I want that one.....

So last Saturday night I went into town for a friends birthday. We started the night in a place called Sin Bin, which is a nice little sports bar in Takapuna!

After buying a few rounds from the bar, the barman informed me it would be heaps cheaper to buy a 'giraffe'. Having never heard of one before I asked him just exactly what he meant, as I would struggle to a) Buy a giraffe and b) fit it in the bar! He then pulled this thing from under the bar, how it ever fit there I will never know....

Turned out to be a real bargain and we saved about $15 all up! It holds about 7 and a half pints, and it has a little tap on the base to pull your own pint! Wicked.... I will definitely be buying one of these again, and just hope I can find a shop in which I can buy my own!! :-) :-)

Forgot to say.....

I forgot to mention, to see a larger scale image just click the photo! :-)

Mini Road Trip!

As Richelle has now left New Zealand to attend university in Canada, we went on a mini road trip during our last week together. We took a slow drive down to the Bay of Plenty, where we spent the night in a nice 'authentic' Kiwi Bach (Holiday home for you pommes!) We had 'choice' (fantastic) weather on the first day as we were driving down, but gnarly (horrible) weather the next day, so I didn't take many photo's, only a few on the first day. But anyway, here they are..........

First we visited the Karangahake Gorge, then we stopped off in Waihi and had a quick peak into the goldmine!! The last photo is of the Coromandel, which runs parallel to the road through Paeroa and Waihi........




Then we finally arrived in Papamoa. We, or should I say Richelle, found a brilliant website called Book a Bach. Basically, it's for people to list their holiday homes for you to rent throughout the year. We scored a real good deal with the bach, it cost us $80 for the night, where as a hotel or motel would of cost us way over $100! The bach was also a 3 minute walk to the beach, all you had to do was walk out the garden gate and cross the road! Perfect!



:-) That is all........for now!!
