On the plus side, there seems to be no shortage of great sushi here. The locals seem to love it and we saw young kids and OAPs happily chomping on it as we all watched the rain outside.

Rain rain go away.
Our introduction to Tauranga, apparently one of the driest places in NZ, was not good. Torrential rain rolled in and soaked the city for days. Despite all the local news headlines saying "Flash floods beware" we tried to walk into town. We got about 10mins down the road before we realised that our umbrellas had simply been directing all the rain to our feet and trousers and like a candle wick the rain had soaked it's way up to our waists. Not good.
On the plus side, there seems to be no shortage of great sushi here. The locals seem to love it and we saw young kids and OAPs happily chomping on it as we all watched the rain outside.
Please note the tower block in the background of the next photo as thats where we have ended up living. It's on the main highstreet in Tauranga and not far from work. Photos of the view from the balcony and walk in wardrobe will hopefully be up soon...

So, despite the rain, it's shorts weather?
ReplyDeleteJohn was trying to copy the locals who all wore shorts and not trousers. It seemed to prevent the candlewick effect and he was surprisingly dry even after a long walk.
