Another transfer day as the tour heads for its final destination of Hamilton before heading home from Auckland this time next week.
There’s very little to say about Hamilton – it’s ok as cities go acting as a centre for the surrounding areas but it’s clearly not renowned for its tourist attractions; adding 5,000 or so England fans should bring it to life in what should be its overcrowded centre.
However the journey from Rotorua was uneventful in pleasant countryside apart from a short stop in Tirau renowned for its quaint signs and antiques. What interested me the most was the ‘home kill service’ which I took to be either a pest control service or at worse a firm of hit-men given the nature of the employees sitting outside! Turns out to be a mobile abattoir and butchering service for the local farmers etc.!
So…a few more tourist photos today before we concentrate on the cricket tomorrow.
Some of the quirky advertising in Tirau
And finally…the best of downtown Hamilton
