Saw the grave fires when I slummed Takapuna/Davenport circa 2004. Had the best grapefruit I ever had from that farm (where the giant tank rig rolled in at midnight to pick-up the milk!). Grandma at the farm had funny words to describe the fire starters. You british are a hoot!


The $40usd I had to pay st the airport before I could get on the plane home because they don't add it to the ticket price like everyone else was a new one on me!
