| Mr P. and his lady friend in Kaikoura New Zealand |
Hubby and I have been to New Zealand half a dozen times over the last several years, and really love it there. Friends from Brisbane moved to the South Island a while ago, and bought the Old Convent in Kaikoura. This became a quirky, meandering B & B, full of charm and history. And a restaurant, and a bar, and a chocolate shop....Here we have Mr P. with his slightly scary lady friend, enjoying the garden in the afternoon sun.
I am joining up this month with Tiffin Fiona's travel linky - we are currently up to the letter K; and My Sunday Photo.
Hi Sherry, now that is one scary lady friend that I wouldn't want to bump into in the dead of night!

Yes she is a wee bit freaky Deb:)
DeleteThat is a very quirky photo and sounds like a fab place to visit.
ReplyDeleteThe South Island esp. is a superb place to visit!
DeleteThat would be quite scary at night wouldn' it? :D
ReplyDeleteShe would indeed frighten your socks off:)
DeleteIt sounds like yourfriends have found an amazing spot to settle, but this lady is indeed scary!
ReplyDeleteshe looks so big and butch:)
DeleteAhh the seafood there is so delicious! We have lovely memories of being in Kaikoura :D
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely place and so much good food! Oh those crayfish. Yum.
DeleteLove the sound of the converted old convent Sherry ... Mr P's friend not so much :)
ReplyDeletethe convent is an amazing place - just so interesting and in lovely surroundings.
DeleteI really want to visit New Zealand and do a photo tour, it looks stunning
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up
You must visit Darren. It is great!
DeleteWhat a wonderful photo from New Zealand. It is so long since I've visited the one day I'd love to return
ReplyDeletedefinitely worth a return trip fiona.!
DeleteNew Zealand is my favourite place in the world! It felt like a spiritual home. Mr P's ladyfriend doesn't look like she'd be much fun, he should stick with you :D
ReplyDeletethanks tara:) I agree - he definitely should leave the concrete lady alone.
DeleteYes - quirky is the word for it. We've been to NZ a couple of times but I just trying to recall if we've been to Kaikoura. I know it's a popular embarkation point for whale watching. I think we probably drove past or through but did not stop.
ReplyDeleteyep that's right. the whale watching capital...we tried to book a trip out but they were all full. they told us they had encountered a blue whale the week before and were absolutely gobsmacked. wouldn't that be incredible?
DeleteLove the pic of Mr P but could leave the scary nun lol.
ReplyDeleteshe is a bit of a concrete monster isn't she?:)
DeleteShe looks so serious and yet fun! #mysundayphoto
ReplyDeleteI guess that's what happens when you are a concrete nun!:))
DeleteHi Sherry, Well she looks 'nun' too pleased about being in that pic with your lovely smiling hubby! Love the idea of turning the convent into a B&B and a chocolate shop, very cool.
ReplyDeletehi emily
Deletei think hubby was grimacing a bit due to facing the sun. yes kaikoura is a spectacular place to be. i love those mountains in the background with the dusting of snow. In real life i mean, not my photo:)
Hi Sherry, well I'm sure the convent must be a fun place. ;) What is the B&B called? We're actually heading to Auckland tomorrow for the long weekend, but maybe we'll make it back down to the South Island again too. Cheers!
