Early Monday morning – I mean, we put an alarm clock on holiday! – we left David’s parents cosy house to reach Mount Bruce and the Bird Sanctuary in order to finally see some kiwis - don’t worry Grégoire, they are protected, we cannot eat them I have to say Ariane was a bit disappointed… – Unfotunately the weather wasn’t good at all, even if we waited… (As Synco said to me: “In NZ, if you don’t like the weather, wait a minute”) so we continue our journey up to one of NZ “big” city: Palmerston North… A bit scared when reading the Lonely Planet guidebook with a citation of John Cleese: “If you ever do want to kill yourself, but lack the courage, I think a visit to Palmerston North will do the trick.”
Actually – some might be happy to know that – I never wanted to kill myself but I could have kill people there as it was impossible to find internet access… However, we were not in the gumpboot capital…

John Cleese est dur avec Palmerston North. En fait, sa citation pourrait s’appliquer à n’importe quelle ville de NZ
