3/22  warm welcome from Murray and Jennifer.  Murray Shaw is the GP (they don't use the term Family Practice) owner of Amesbury Health Centre) - even if we did have 12 bags to fit in their vehicle;  vegan meal - rockmelon and stonefruit for dessert.  It does seem like everything is called something else here, not just meds.     Russell and Pip very helpful at our pet friendly motel.  Still need to take a picture here - moving out tomorrow.
3/23  got our petrol at 157.9 cents/liter and drove to Levin to visit the chiens
In the pictures you'll see arriving in Palmy, visiting the dogs in quarantine, first of many sheep sightings, view of the rental house and the lovely well kept property, our street, my car (Suzuki Grand Vitara), the hospital, leaving for Queenstown - no security at the airport, downtown Palmy on one of the 2 sunny days after returning from the South Island.  You can see the city council building and an old hotel.
