Happy Valentines day



I couldn't resist dressing Sheep up for Valentines day. She doesn't know it is Valentines, she is recalling her past life as a wolf. She is remembering the Lupercalia festival. Held in honour of Lupa, the she-wolf who suckled the infant orphans, Romulus and Remus. Sheep doesn't know she is not a she wolf anymore much to Floyd's disgust.

New Zealand part 2 Pahia town and Boat Trip

On the way back we did the obligatory tourist activity of body boarding down the sand dunes, it was messy.
