After our Christchurch and Ashburton fairs we rolled on to Timaru. If you ever go to Timaru I strongly recommend visiting Caroline bay down by the port.

To get there you have to drive the loop. A very fascinating  piece of road indeed. The loop allows you to quickly descend down to water level from the town above the cliffs. We set up the extravaganza  in a park right in the middle of the loop. Dad beeped the trucks horn the whole way up around the loop when we left. It was very EMBARRASSING!
Our cousin Ijann joined us for our Ashburton and Timaru fairs. He enjoyed making bubbles almost as much as he hated my cuddles!

Caroline bay itself is a wonderful piece of art. Theres the cool glass elevator and the quaint rose garden and of course you cant forget the
huge playground with the awesome slide and then there is the bird avery with all kinds of exotic and brilliant birds! Last but not least there is the beach, soft sands, gently lapping waves and great for swimming in the summer.

Opps! I almost forgot about the snails! They live among the rocks and early in the morning you can see their silvery slimmey trails. A tell tail sign that they have been there.
