Talking I'm still laughing like a drain!

Class!

We're off to Napier in a few mins and are planning on visiting Opossum World. I think I'll need to take a hanky to wipe my tears away.

It's actually quite good there. There is an exhibition at the back with stuffed possums in different situations and explains the history etc...

Then there is the shop in the front with all its weird and wacky possum related items (the usual willy and nipple warmers are there).

Its opposite the aquarium.

I loved walking around and looking at the art deco buildings and if you are interested in the history of the place there is a good museum (also along Marine Parade)

I don't know why that's funny?



All the possums I have ever seen look just like that, well maybe just a tad more messy.

I have been to Opossum World and it reminded me of the Zoological Museum in Tring, Herts. Some of the models had obviously seen better days and were a bit flea bitten but the kids enjoyed and on the upside there is some nice shopping to be had if you feel the need to stock up on opossum clothing - gloves are great!!!
