Taking the prize

We set off on our Leaderbrand "Land Feud" prize with some trepidation as their did not seem to be much paperwork. At the last possible minute she emailed through our tickets to the show and miraculously our names appeared "on the list" at Air NZ, the airport shuttle and the Hotel register. The Sebel is very well appointed - except for a most uncomfortable square loo seat!!

We went out and bought eggs and toast so that we could have breakfast in our room - what an absolute mess Downtown Auckland is!
"Vital" the display of corpses was on the viaduct Obviously their was a limit to what you can do with a plasticised corpse, but there were also other interesting displays on dementia, clots, obescity and diabetes which were of particular interest to me, while Duncan lingered over the knee exhibits!


This is a reference to the shroud. In olden days they believed that the corpse ate the shroud because they didn't know about about decomposition.

You can see the clot on the brain as a dark mass

The photo frames are starting to empty out




What a lot of intestine!!

An obese person

An underweight person.
After a wee nap and a cup of tea we set out for the comedy show with Paul Chowdhry. Hwe worked the audience very well with the general theme of discrimination. His family came to London in 1910, but he still gets the migrant tag. He obviously enjoyed the audience interaction so much that he ran overtime - and so it was a very late Italian Dinner on the way back to the Sebel.
No photos at Paul Chowdhry, so I tried a selfie while we waited.
