The Toilet and the Rose Garden
It sounds a little like a modern day fable, doesn’t it? In fact, it’s two stories related to our trip between Napier and Wellington. We stopped off twice, firstly at Dannevirke, a town with Danish connections, for coffee and then at Palmerston North to visit the New Zealand Rugby Museum where I was shocked to find Jonah Lomu in the ladies toilet.

There is also a beautiful rose garden in the town which has won awards. This delightful specimen was named Dawn.

We gave a lift to the German young lady, Monika, who I’d met on the winery trip yesterday as she happened to be travelling to Wellington too.
