Russell is a 3.5 hour drive from my home town. Followed by a short vehicle ferry journey.

RUSH HOUR IN THE VILLAGE
Russell is a small town, everything is cutsey and within walking distance.
DIDN'T TAKE US LONG TO FIND THE PUB
OH DEAR
We enjoyed a delicious meal at the local Thai restaurant. I spotted this Tuk-tuk outside and of course, I had to get inside. I wanted to get in quickly, have my pic taken and run away before anyone saw me. Unfortunately, I wasn't satisfied with any of the pics taken (this was about the fifth attempt) AND I banged my head on the ceiling. Poor hubby, I don't know why he puts up with my antics sometimes.
MANY OF RUSSELL'S ORIGINAL BUILDINGS STILL STAND (I'll write more about that later).
NZ'S OLDEST CHURCH
THE POLICE STATION
I'll leave it at that for today. I'll write about our day trips tomorrow.
Have a great day/night.
