Geraldine

Just a short drive this morning as we are off to Geraldine, Why?, because it’s there and we haven’t been there before.   We arrived at the POP just outside Geraldine and what a great place this is.   It would have to be up there with the best of the POPs if not the best.   Our hosts David & Maureen couldn’t make us and the numerous other campers any more welcome.   The POP is set on beautifully manicured lawns and well kept grounds complete with it’s own dump point, shower and toilet.

Looking back at Geoff and Robin         Derek and Us

There is a laundry available and a small selection of jams and pickles for sale.

Once set up we drove back in to Geraldine, a really nice, tidy town.   We headed into Barkers of Geraldine (est 1969) for some jam, pickle, sauce and cordial tasting.   Barkers is well known and was originally set up as a family business.   It now mail orders product throughout New Zealand and supplies supermarkets and shops around the country.

We couldn’t resist buying some cheese at Talbot Forest Cheese shop next door as well so we will be well fed for the next few days !
