BeatDball.... Here is part of New Zealand

BeatDball Here is part of New Zealand

I landed in Auckland, then took domestic flights to three areas of this country.

Here are a few pictures along the way... Spring in New Zealand.

A very mountainous country with narrow roads and some nasty curves going up to a few thousand feet.

So many hills and mountains with snow

Pacific Coast Highway

Signs like this

On to Napier

Driving to Wellington

Palmerston N

Small towns along the long road trips

In Sydney , I visited the Sydney Cricket ground and back home by Friday

Off to Lunch with a few aussie toots...

22-hour flight from Sydney to Toronto.

In reply to sgtdjones I think there's a Jamaican chic living there & is in love with that place. Naturally, beautiful place. Supposedly, low crime & all the above...but, it's too socishitistic oriented for me! Btw, ah hear there's more sheep than people there!!?

As a boy In TT when I did Geography I thought,what a beautiful country I said to myself that one day I would live there.I definitely would have gone but my wife didn't agree.

In reply to BeatDball

I was surprised at the amount of Caribbean nationals living in New Zealand.

A few small towns have Caribbean restaurants .

When West Indies teams tour New Zealand, Caribbean nationals welcome them with a party .



Less rednecks in New Zealand...

I have been here on 5 occasions, my wife is from New Zealand.

Yes , its a beautiful Country , that goes crazy about Rugby.
Cricket is in the background whenever New Zealand plays rugby.

Dallas Cowboys tried to sign Lomu , he refused saying he will play only for New Zealand.

Jonah Lomu is not only often considered New Zealand's greatest rugby player, but often the greatest rugby player of all time.

Kidney disease took him away at 40 years old.

You seem to have missed the best part of New Zealand...

The Bay Of Plenty: with Tauranga, Mt Manganui, and lots of great beaches.

Look at me ....Look at me ..

See Jim Jump....See John run

Loooking all over for the missing " D5 or 6 paintbrush"

Congratulations on your recent Marriage!

All the best!

Only last year you said the 6ft tall kiwi/aussie/polynesian was your girlfriend.

In reply to Elsie

My girlfriend/wife is from New Zealand. We have known each other over a decade.

I have visited on numerous occasions and seen what you have mentioned above.
Took the train from Auckland to Queenstown.

Its springtime in New Zealand; beaches are to be avoided at this time; the winds from the South Pole can be rather cool.

A beautiful country.

I am on a business trip to Australia and New Zealand... (6 weeks)

Leaving for Toronto today

The wedding was a private lil thing a while ago; we have been living together for years and have twin sons...

Sodden has had enough weddings. He doesn't need any more.
He never fails to come by with his usual comment...

In reply to sgtdjones

Sudden returned the caterpillar yet?

In reply to sgtdjones

Nice. love is lovely.

I hope the two 30 year old genius daughters of yours were also part of the festivities!

In reply to sgtdjones

He was a real gate crasher,if i'm not mistaken he had serious kidney problems and retired earlier than expected,I could be wrong.

Btw, what is with TT & NZ?! Didn't a Treeknee, who played for WI cricket...emigrated to NZ & played vs WI?!?

In reply to BeatDball

I hear plenty Mericans moving to NZ soon

You hear lie
That is lie

Will make my first trip there in January. Reading the above, I can't wait.

In reply to JoeGrine

Two years ago, I went to Australia and did not go to NZ, that was a big mistake, so see both countries if you can, since you are in the area!

In reply to camos

I am usually in OZ at that time of the year. First that I will be doing the NZ portion.

I find it sad so few here are congratulating stupidjones on his very recent marriage.

I hope that by now he figured out where his supposed wife is really from!
New Zealand? sgtdjones 2019-08-11: I am not married but attached to a Polynesian New Zealander

Or Australia? sgtdjones 2017-06-23: dis mixture of Polynesian and Aussie from Brisbane, she lives near the GABA , loves cricket

what a mystery. And obviously stupidjones would not lie about something as benign as this!

Niether would he lie about the mystery woman's height:
"Listen nah she is 6ft 4 in with an olive tan,long black hair etc
or is it
she is 6ft 2 inches. So dont mess with me.....

In reply to granite

Yes , he is written into the annals of New Zealand Rugby

Jonah Lomu

Born in Pukekohe to Tongan immigrants from Haʻapai, Lomu grew up between rural Tonga and South Auckland. His childhood in Auckland was marked by local gang violence, and his mother nurtured his interest in sport
Standing 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and weighing 119 kilograms (262 lb), Lomu was famed for his unprecedented speed, strength and agility
was exceptionally large for a wing player.At the age of 19 years and 45 days, Lomu became the youngest All Black player and could run 100 metres in 11.2 seconds
At the end of 1995, Lomu was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome, a serious kidney disorder.
Lomu underwent a kidney transplant on 28 July 2004 in Auckland, New Zealand.
Lomu made his first appearance in a competitive match since his kidney transplant on 10 December 2005.
He was a lover of languages. In addition to English and his parents' Tongan, he also learned to speak in French, Spanish, Mandarin, Cantonese and he had a working proficiency of Russian.

On the morning of 18 November 2015, Lomu died unexpectedly in Auckland from a heart attack linked to his kidney disease.

I met her in Brisbane, where her father lives.

With High heels ....she is 6ft 4inches
Regular shoes ..... 6 feet 2 inches.
She is 6ft tall....

Where lies your fcking problem?
I must live in your brain with the only two brain cells you have, huh?
Too much rum eh!!!

Do you notice how I ignore your rass.

Get a life instead of your mother's hammock.

In reply to sgtdjones
