Behind the Monkey Puzzle

Further round the coast and more inland is the small village of Tuatapere. Here I was able to get the right pills for my wretched cold and some more food. Staying at this delightful Park called "The Last Light Cafe' Last to see the light being so far west.

Three good things:
1. Wifi all over the Camp.
2. Great cafe with a large wood burner to warm up beside with a strong cup of good coffee.
3. Escaped outside from John who said he would be angry if I went outside, to get this shot!
Looks lovely. I love a bit of camping !

You are very determined! Hope your cold doesn't get worse or you're for it! I told you so etc! You seem to be struggling with colds lately, hope the sun bucks you up! Looks a lovely peaceful site, I'm.like the peek through the monkey puzzle tree.

@happypat I think I've only had one cold before this one this year or maybe two, Pat! But I do tend to get things when I travel. The sun has arrived today, thank goodness!

Looks like a beautiful spot to camp. It's hard to be away from home and not feel well, hope you feel better soon

You found a great spot to camp. try to stay a day or two to rest and let the new medication do its trick. hubby came down with a doozy of a flue, although he had his very first flu shot this year.

@bruni Thanks Bruni - yes but I will try to escape for another photo at one time! We had flu shots too.

It took me a while to figure out what a monkey puzzle is. My knowledge of tree types is now officially expanded.

@stray_shooter I'm impressed that you wanted to find out, Ron! They really are unusual and not seen often!

A Monkey Puzzle tree. You don't see them very often. I wonder how they got their name.

I love the way the caravan is partly obscured - shows that subtle makes a better image. - lovely.
