Here are some more items to clutter up the house and gather dust.
This Christmas bauble was picked up at Berry over the Shellharbour trip last year and has appeared elsewhere.
Christmas just gone found us enjoying dinner on a cruise ship off New Zealand, 19 degrees and no flies being the greatest pleasure.
We had some time ashore at various ports and I managed to spot a few caravan items.
At Bay of Islands this Christmas bauble featured the Kiwi, Pukaka, sheep and Christmas Tree and in hindsight I'm sorry I didn't buy one.
In the same store this tin thingy that whirls and twirls in the the garden.
At Akaroa a nice little timber teardrop would no doubt have suited some, can't be that hard to make if you can repair a vintage van.
Also in Akaroa something useful at least, which I did buy, Melamine plates from DQ & Co featuring all the NZ icons, Kiwi, Pukaka, sheep, seagull and Christmas bush which was in flower in the north when we were there. DQ items have featured previously in this thread. I looked through their web site but couldn't find the plates, they have a huge range of stuff.
And at Auckland we took a tour to Devonport where Devonport Chocolates have their store. I found one of their chocolates had a wrapper with a caravan at the beach scene, but for the price I just tried the samples and left empty handed. This photo is from their web site.
Are we giving up caravans for cruising? Not likely, it's not my scene, just an expensive way to look at a lot of water in my view. Any more talk of a cruise and it will be a $2.50 trip to Manly for the day!
