Well! we have returned from the Maori Hangi Dinner. Dad was wearing his kilt so he was chosen to be the chief of our group, naturally. He had to face the Haka-- no smiling or it would be an insult. He then had to pick up a branch and signify he came in peace. Then he had to do the rub noses bit with the women! I managed to take a couple of videos with my wee camera!
I went up to do the ladies dance with the kind of pom-pom things. More difficult than you think.
Dad also went back to do the war dance thing. It was all good fun.
Need to get to bed now. We are off to Wellington in the morning and we leave at 8.30 am.
LOL M&D
Can't wait to see those pics!!!!
ReplyDeleteAbi had great time. Dogs missing you loads (or just don't like waiting til 5 for tea)!!!
Sounds like your having loads of fun. Dad seems to be throwing himself into things and literally down sand dunes!. What a priviledge to face the Haka! - now he knows what the scotland rugby team feel like.
