Thursday’s questions were:
1. Where did you used to go for summer holidays when you were a child?
2. Where do you go now?
3. Name three things you wouldn’t choose to holiday without.
4. Where would you suggest tourists eat if visiting your home town/region?
5. If you could choose any time of year to have a holiday when would it be?
There were no wrong answers so Zen, Ray & Adam win a bag of electronic cherries and Zen gets a bonus for going the extra mile in answering before the questions were posed.
My answers:
1. My family used to stay home and take picnics to the river (Gemmell’s Crossing or Clifton Falls) when I was at primary school, when I got to intermediate I started going to Wanaka with my best friend.
2. Home and Wanaka.
3. My farmer, lots of books, a clean loo.
4. Fleur’s Place and Riverstone Kitchen.
5. February if holidaying in New Zealand, any time from late May to late August if going overseas.

Only just caught up with the questions via your own answers.
Not being from your region but loving it every time we visit I would only change number three – inserting “my wife” who ran the family while i did the farming.
Oh! and obviously number one has a few differences – Paraparaumu, Himitangi for sand sandwiches and blustery norwesters!
Of course there were pippis by the dozen – yummmmmmm.

Is it Thursday still?
1. Little Kaiteriteri – in a ramshackle bach right on the golden sand beach, up early, barefoot down to the plashing waves and into the clear water to scoop up pipis.
2. Where do you go now?
Anywhere we like – we have a 1960’s canvas-top camper that follows us wherever we go and unfolds to provide us with rude comfort. Manapouri usually. Catlins sometimes. This year, walking to Green Lakes.
3. Name three things you wouldn’t choose to holiday without.
Plenty of time, lots of prospects and calm weather.
4. Where would you suggest tourists eat if visiting your home town/region?
The BeachHouse (ask for Anthony) and Mrs Clarks (you’ll know it’s Cazna before you are introduced).
5. If you could choose any time of year to have a holiday when would it be?
Now.

This is a great quiz, because you can answer late and yet there is no advantage in peeking at other people’s answers.
I’ll also add that I live where many people come for their holidays, which is why I don’t feel the need to leave. Kapiti Coast.
(Mind you, we can say that about most of NZ)
