Blossoms and Bulls

Today we went over the Rimutakas to Aston Norwood Gardens to see the blossoms.

There were fairy houses for children to play with, and a cream tea for us.

We drove north along the transmission gully road and were entertained by the puns on bulls in Bulls.

We’re staying at the Powderhorn Hotel in Ohakune which looks as if a whole pine plantation was used in its construction.

Here’s the aftermath of our dinner at the Maple Leaf restaurant. Like the hotel, it’s all beams and rustic fireplaces.
