Ale House Follow the full story	The following is an extract from Denis and Dana's weblog about their stay in Timaru on their New Zealand tour Dec 06 and Jan 07 At night in Timaru we walked along Caroline Bay near a fairly active shipping port. The sand on the beach was so fine it was like clay. On our first night in New Zealand we were blown away by the roses (as mentioned in the last entry) at the Trevor Griffiths Rose Garden. This public garden had hundres of rose bushes, some dating back over a hundred years. The entrance from the street is through a large piazza with a large fountain/waterfall. It's a massive piece of public works for the size of the city. I did appreciate the stairs. If it were in Sydney they would all be escalators. Dana and I ended the night with a few handles of beer at the Speight's Ale House. The pub had great character - it was rediscovered after a wrecking crew demolished a not-so-attractive building that had obscured it. Thankfully the bulldozer stopped short when he saw the old stone building. And yes I did say night, but it was light out until 10PM. Day one photos here. Christmas Eve morning we woke up at the Blunden's - Trish and John at the Sefton Homestay B&B - in Timaru. They served a fantastic cooked breakfast, including poached eggs, while spinning the yarn with Trish and John. Ollie, their dog, saw us out as we head back to town. Their B&B was one of the best I have stayed at anywhere - highly recommended. However, for those with allergies like me, it seems to be a prerequisite for a B&B in NZ to have a dog or a cat, so bring your Claritine.
