October

Tuesday 10th October 2017
Artweek is on at the moment and tonight they had entertainment in the city. Unfortunately I did not think this was as good as previous years, so did not stay long in town.

Today we went to Brothers Brewery & Juke Joint in Mt Eden for lunch. Very nice but not as good as the new one in Orakei (my opinion)

Today we went for a drive to Matakana and the surrounding area, as next weekend is Labour weekend and we did not want to be on the roads during that time.

 While out there I decided to pop by the Sculptureum and check out the spring flowers.
I also got some photos of things I missed previously: Sculptures/Rabbits and a video of the Wind Sculpture.
No captions as I am sure you will know that they are plants or animals etc. (LOL I'm being lazy)

After I had been here, we then went to the 'Sawmill Brewery' in Matakana

Cool trikes



Spicy Venison ribs with blue cheese ranch


Smoked mushrooms, edamame, kawakawa, crispy shallots & buffalo halloumi


 and because I could, the cool tub in the bathroom


We then headed out to Tawharanui Peninsula





A cool Pukeko letterbox
