NZ part 1

[malterre]

I’ll admit I was pretty cranky. New Zealand is definitely set up for tourists and we had to go through customs. They are (understandably) cautious about strange plants and animals and it seemed to take a while to get through. I am not sure whether it was coming in or going out but we had an Ugly American who gave nasty looks to others, cut lines

I can't wait to hear about the Hobbiton Tour.

my Scotland friend stayed in NZ for a few weeks with a friend and told me it was so beautiful... and this is someone who lives in Edinburgh, mind.

i'd love to get there some day :) and you went at a great time/weather. nice escape from the snow.

I went to New Zealand many year ago (when they were filming LOTR) and found it to be amazing. The people were generally very nice, but it was the scenery that sold me. We got to go to South Island, which I recommend. So glad you got to go!

"European shower"?

[malterre]

"You guyz" Toilet in a closet with another closet that makes a shower and a floor drain. And the shower head is on a flexible hose.
I love that with a bleach attachment you could clean the whole thing but sadly, our bathrooms aren't built that way. I didn't see any in your neck of the woods with the "peeping door" though-that's unique.

What do you have then? A fixed nozzle over the bath? o_O

[malterre]

One spout with a pressure system t-shaped tab that can be switched to the shower head up top. Which, in our biggest bath, is like trying to shower with an aerosol can.

That's my we have a hose and head in our Master Bath.
