Santa gets a helping hand

Pics by the pool before a Christmas BBQ breakfast. The slow ferry to Russell (Previously known as "The Hell Hole of the Pacific") for a walk around the historic town. Disappointed by how many of the places we would have visited were "Open every day of the year - except Christmas Day", impressed by the casual relaxed nature of the place, amazed by the fish we saw as we walked up the pier, and pleased by the short walk to our preferred restaurant for christmas dinner - a Thai/Indian Fusion eatery on the sea front. Tasty as.
