Wanganui Mar 6-7


I loved Wanganui, it is very pretty and the property is cheap! I believe this is because there has been Maori trouble in the area, but my hostess Pam was very quick to deny that there was a big problem. Her house was beautiful, sort of like 2 chapels joined together, she was English, having emigrated in 1961, I think she was a bit lonely because her children are all overseas. I went to the very interesting small museum on Friday, would’ve liked to go on the only remaining NZ paddle steamer trip up the Wanganui river but since it only went in the afternoon & I needed to get to Wellington I will have to go back some time.
