New Zealand 2007 

 

                                    Day Twenty-Seven  Dargaville April 09

                                               

                                            Long 6 hour drive day past Auckland to Kauri Coast.  Just outside of departing Rotorua was

                                            the steel art town of Tirau - Most signs, including the town sign, was made of painted and 

                                            corrugated steel sheets.  Even two buildings were shaped like a dog and sheep.

 

                                            Checked into the Sunset Lodge located at Baylys Beach.  Walks on the beach was shorten due 

                                            to sunshine filled rain.  The Lodge has a guest area with large LCD screen and full bar.

 

                                            Dinner after the spectacular sunset from the room balcony was at Funky Fish restaurant -

                                            another chance for local venison steak (Maybe it should be the Funky Deer restaurant).

                                            However, large paper mache fish heads created by a local school were brightly colored

                                            and provided the funky interior trim.
