It's hoped work on the next connections between Otago's cycle trails will begin this year - when finished a continuous 600km network of trails will link Queenstown to Dunedin.

What a wave! Anyone seen it for themselves? https://thatssointeresting.quora.com/It-is-called-Chicama-it-occurs-in-a-single-point-on-the-Peruvian-coast-and-it-is-the-only-wave-in-the-world-that-is-pr?ch=8&oid=63280333&share=512e6409&srid=uV56YU&target_type=post

It is called Chicama, it occurs in a single point on the Peruvian coast, and it is the only wave in the world that is protected by law. Nothing can be built within a radius of two kilometers from that place, so nothing can affect its natural formation.

Okay, perhaps I do want to go back to London! This I have to see.

A very special Dinner Table!
An interactive wildlife sculpture has arrived in London. Public artists Gillie and Marc Art have created a piece aptly named
"The Wild Table of Love."
10 of the world's endangered animals including the Koala, Bengal Tiger, African Elephant, Maasai Giraffe, White Rhino and Mountain Gorilla have been given a seat at the "table!"
2 empty seats are placed at the banquet for the public to join in and take action against wildlife loss.
If you are in London, go and take a seat with some iconic greats!
