    A JAFA was a name coined by Aucklanders, on the island to the north of the Mainland.

    Was meant to mean Just a Friendly Aucklander

    However the F meant something TOTALLY different to the rest of NZ. ROFLMAO

              Well, I've got Australian citizenship as well so I'll have to ask for forgiveness twice

              NZ is a great tourist destination, you can do as much or as little as you want of just about anything you can think of with less travelling than anywhere else in the world.

              Exchange rate is pretty good too.

                So have I, so we are still down to one.
                I tell the wife we have to retire back home at Wanaka, that or when the zombies come. I'm working on the last idea by subjecting her to The Walking Dead, she'll come around......
                She came around after she got sick of me spiking her Corona with Speights.
                Anyway, being a Australasian isn't so bad, we win either way with sport.

                          We will go back to retire I suspect. We both miss NZ too much

                          A few more photos I found from a trip back in 2009 (we get back at least 2-3 times a year)

                                We need to close this thread, makes me want to go back to the MacKenzie Country to go shooting, or is it I just hate Christmas traffic......
