The 17th Stop: Rangiora, New Zealand. This time something different. Stayed two nights @ a farm just next to the small town of Rangiora. So gum boots on and to the fields with farm animals! Eye witnessed a sheep shearing (thanks Pete!), and kids got to bottle feed a baby lamb. And no spits by alpacas, though the Boy E expected them to do so, because "we weren't old pals". Such a fun experience.
