Lake Taupo Pt 2

Apr 05, 2016 19:45

We left Lake Taupo on Tuesday late morning-ish, but not before a stop at McDonalds. Not that we ate there, but I'd read that it was one of the most unique McDonalds in the world so we had to see for ourselves. I mean, how unique can a McDonalds be?
( This unique, apparently! )

it's been 29 - 30 every day since I got back and it's APRIL for gods' sake, what is going on?

If you find the answer, please share. It's -14° at the moment (8h am). It's been like that yesterday too...

:-(

That's a cool restaurant!

Wow WON'T offer to swap you! At the wedding, the kiwis were complaining about the 23 degree heat and us Aussies were chuckling about that. But your temps? No thank you!

Restaurant was certainly unique.

I'd take the 23. Though maybe not in early April!

I loathe McDonalds food... but I'd eat there. :D

If I hadn't already had breakfast - and it was too early for lunch - I'd have eaten there too, just so I could say that I had. It was fantastic, seeing the way it was kitted out inside. And the cockpit still had all of the controls in place, too, all dusty and covered in cobwebs.

I did a bit of googling, and found a thread that discusses that type of linens:
http://www.overstock.com/forums/Fitted-comforter-bedspread/8268/thread.html
And then I googled for 'bed caps' as one of the commenters mentioned, and found a site which offers them in few different options (some solid colors, some reversible different solid colors, a zebra print and a denim) & a number of different bed sizes-twin, full, bunk bed size- queen size are special orders, no returns. While it's a US company it does say it will ship to most countries.

Thank you very much for the trouble you went to here. I followed your links, and unfortunately the bedcaps aren't quite what we were looking for - the ones we had were fitted at the bottom without any elastic. A couple of the other places mentioned on overstock.com had the exact thing, but didn't ship to Australia. There is a place in NZ where we can order them quite cheaply,(ie $49 NZ) but need to be in the hospitality industry to place an order... I have an ABN so we are looking at our options there.
