WOMAD Friday 14th March 2014 - Sunday 16th March 2014
We had planned a trip to NZ and managed to begin it with the New Plymouth WOMAD festival. It had been 4 years since we had last been, so we were pretty pumped. We left Brisbane early morning and met Shahn's good friend, Jade at Auckland Airport and then onto New Plymouth to begin the holiday!
Day One
Shahn and Jade in the Japanese Tea house
The wicker Elephants in the Bowl lake watching the sea of people.
Watching Kimbra, she was OK - not too flash. Think she was struggling with the water in front of stage and maybe couldn't see the audience..?
The lights in Pukekura Park
Shahn in the entrance to the Japanese garden
The food court - ohhhh the Hungarian Bread Puffs..... *sigh*
Jade and Shahn enjoying a few light beverages

Relaxing watching the Chinese band, "Shanren"
Day Two
After such a beautiful night, Saturday was a bit rainy and chilly. However there were patches of hot sun and really we were with great friends, listening to some beats and had waaaay too many beersies (well, Shahn had enough for everyone!)
Heather and some or the random dancers around WOMAD
Enjoying the day, we were all weather prepared as cyclone Lusi rained down on NZ. Raincoats and beers with Andrew & Caroline, Jade, Shahn and Zoe!
Zoe, Jade Shahn and Charlie - the sun was out and the smiles plentiful!

The extremely long walk home, so very drunky! Great day/night out with my two best friends - how I miss you both everyday! Love you!!! xxx S.
I have know idea what was happening here.
Day Three
As Shahn and Jade were a bit worse for wear on the Sunday, Eak headed out on his own, to the last day of WOMAD like the trooper he is!
