This version of The Gypsy Gigolo Journal celebrates 3 YEARS ON THE ROAD!!!
You will be treated to some hitherto-unpublished photographic gems, and a bit of reminiscing.
The shot below depicts the scene when The Bus With No Name tried to inconspicuously ease out of Auckland at the beginning of the adventure.
It was defaced by a low-life no-hoper local, masquerading as an artist.
If only our highways and by-ways were all like the one below, touring would be absolute bliss!
This one allows the inhabitants of Haast to transport themselves by road to their neighbours in remote Jackson Bay.
The Hawkes Lookout is on the Takaka Hill with its aspect south-east towards Motueka and Tasman Bay.
Shame they got the spelling wrong - our ancestors went to a lot of trouble climbing this big hill half a million years ago.
The glaciers are a highlight of any trip to the west coast of the south island.
Franz Josef always provides a great vista.
Healthy body and mind is my mantra, and the Rail Trail was an appropriate opportunity to hone up my temple-like body!
Lake Hayes, near Queenstown, presented this photograhic opportunity to get a rather remarkable shot of a reflection of The Remarkables.
It snowed a couple of hours later.
This classic ketch 'Enterprise' plies the Hauraki Gulf during NZ summer, then further north in the Pacific later in the year.
The mature lady responded like a young nymph under the skilled helmsmanship of an Old Salt!!
Kite surfing on Whangaparaoa Peninsula near Auckland.
Look carefully at the wire gate and fence and you may be able to make out the bicycles of all shapes and sizes attached.
The farm is near Oruaiti in the Far North.
A tyre blowout at 100 kmph provided a bit of excitement.
The AA man was on the job quickly, and all I had to do was take the photo!
Ensuring maintenance is fully up to date meant having the windscreen replaced.
The beginning of the FOURTH YEAR will see me wintering-over in the Far North.
As spring approaches plans will go into effect for the next visit to the south island.
Thanks for your interest over the past three years, I hope you hang around.
Good luck to you and your families.
