Wanganui - A Fran(k)zi view. 26th July-3rd August

I parted yet again from Dalia & Nigel - I meet them up again - and I headed back to Wanganui. To hang out with Franziska. On the first Wanganui post, a Miss Flat White commented - why miss Flat White? thats another story - that the Whanganui river is not the longest river in NZ but is only the 2nd longest river on the North Island. As Miss Flat White did not bother to tell us which is the longest, I am now flipping through the Lonely Planet to find out... And the longest is the Waikato River. On the North island.

This time in Wanganui? well, spent time in the Big Orange Coffee Shop, cooked, went to the Big Orange Coffee Shop, walked, went to the Big Orange Coffee Shop, had thai, went to the Big Orange Coffee Shop, watched the Flight of the Conchords, learnt how to properly fold sheet, went to the Big Orange Coffee Shop - uhmmm... yes a lot of time was spent at the Big Orange. They had free WiFi, And more importantly, they made a bloody good hot latte. Noice! The Video Post was from the Big orange- it may be time I do another one?!!

I planned this to be a short post. text wise anyway. A lot of photos were taken. A lot in the Big Orange, I mean a lot, the hostel, the lake. Mostly by Franzi. About 870 photos. Yup! Not one photo of the River!!

So, for the first time since India/Nepal, the photos are from somebody else viewpoint, Franzi's view to be precise. I am sorry for the title, a pun was intended - does it work? only you can judge - And yes mum, a lot of photos of me.

In a first, and because I could not decide which of the 120 photos of my first selection to post, I decided to post them all. You lot can decide. Same same but different.

Franzi - Happy Birthday by the way - take it away...
