Drinks for the chicks


Well the sign says it all. It is not at first clear why there are so many dodgy drinks shops. On our first visit to the supermarket we bought some Tonic then went looking for the gin. We had to ask as we couldn't find any..a look of disbelief on the assistants face should have been a warning. The two guys helping her unload the crates of NZ wine came over and asked "What do they want??" We tried the gin word again "You can't buy that stuff here, mate." Well Janet survived here 6 moths so it must be possible we thought. When we stood our ground and said "OK, so where can you buy gin?" She said "Try Liquor Land" making it sound like an imaginary country beyond the state border. Thankfully we found a Liquor Store serving missionaries in plane black carrier bags, and then we noticed a lemon tree just outside our bedroom window. Ahhhhh it's got to be Gordontons!
