Windy Miller

Palmerston North, New Zealand


June 10
As our first day in Palmy Jen decided to show us a few of the local highlights. First on the agenda we headed up to Te Apiti wind farm. It was very windy and cold up there, winter is definately on its way here and there have been a lot of reports of snowfalls in the south island, with the ski resorts set to opn around the same day we leave - gutted.

As it was so cold up there we took a couple of photos and headed off towards Himatangi Beach. This is Jens favourite local beach due to the amazing amount of driftwood of all sizes, from twigs to full trees that line the edge. We made a shell message in the sand and took photos, as we were doing this it started to rain and got very windy, so as soon as we finished we headed back into town and picked up some take-away lunch. We took this lunch to Jens mate Taras house (who is a black stic, just not playing today) to watch the international hockey game of the Black Sticks versus England. A bit wierd 3 English people watching this game with a black stick, especially when we won 1-0 (Come on England!)
For the evenings entertainment we decided to get a couple of DVDs. The first being DeJavu which was really good.For the evenings entertainment we decided to get a couple of DVDs. The first being DeJavu which was really good.
For the second film we watched All the Kings men which turned out to be quite wierd and dull so we turned it off half way through.
