A walk in the park















Yesterday evening after a long day helping others race at the velodrome, we went for a walk in Kowhai Park. We were too late for the fair then, so we returned this morning.
The Original Gypsy Fair has been travelling around New Zealand since 1990. There are many sorts of craftworkers and artists in many different media, metal, glass and fabric of many sorts, food stalls, musicians and others.
The vehicles are beautifully adapted, and date as far as we saw from the 1970s onwards, all well maintained and up to date wofs etc..
All sorts of people were walking around..which made it feel completely odd when we visited the cafe on the other side of Dublin Bridge...100% white faces..the first time that has happened to us here.
Back in our homestay now for a rest before a session on the velodrome later this afternoon.
