Agricultural fair:
Set off on an exploratory bike ride- there is a great bicycle trail all the way to Hagley Park (a large central park).
Continued on to the 150th Canterbury Agricultural fair. On the way, there was another bicyclist who was getting confused at the same places as me, so we became friends and hung out at the fair together.
Highlights- lots of baby animals, sheep-shearing contests (they were very fast! a good sheep-shearer can shear 400 sheep in a day), horse races, and the naming of the "best animals" with awards given by Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla.

Pearls:
-"give way" signs rather than "yield"
-helmets are required here
-biking is helping me feel more comfortable going along the left side of the road

You may have noticed in one of the pictures there is a man with a metal detector in the park!
ReplyDeleteHe searches for coins, etc as a hobby. when I explained about my lost rings, he said he was happy to get some friends together and search for me. Very nice! But he said rings are hard bc you have to be right on top of them to detect them.
