From here to New Zealand!

 I spotted this on Twitter X and I thought it a hoot. I looked up the Nova Scotia map. Maritimers have such a fabulous sense of humour.

Henri (below left) brought us a parcel. What a nice man! He was happy and cheerful, and we wished each other well. All of them are really positive and outgoing. I like that! We always make a point of thanking them for this service. They wave back.



Ta da! Angel's Trumpet in bloom.

A chilly few days, I sought the sunshine. Sitting on the back deck a bee bounced off the window and into my water glass! It was doing the breaststroke. I threw it over the railing and I'm sure it was fine!

The Fearsome Foursome Flyers are traveling by car. They are doing a fabulous New Zealand tour. Some scenery reminds them of their 2005 honeymoon on Cook Islands! They were at the Otorohanga Kiwi House.

πŸ₯ From there, the kids went glow worm cave tubing. They wore wetsuits, because the air and the water was about 12 C.! They weren't the only ones. What a hoot! 



From there, they stayed in a cute cottage, and visited Whitiora Stadium.

Great photos of your family. Hubby and I have been cave tubing Belize, it is a weird experience. Take care, have a great day!

Good to save every bee we can! I got a kick out of tourists tubing in wet suits. Here tubing is popular, especially with somehow bringing along a cooler of something fun to drink! Wearing as little as possible with lots of sunscreen! Oh my to see another one of those cow statues down under!
