Writing is like a good barbecue sauce, if it ain't bold, it ain't worth doing.

Friday Fotos – overlooking Port Chalmers and the Pacific Ocean

Our trip to New Zealand included a stop at Larnach Castle. From the top of the castle you can see for miles, and this shot shows the bay leading to Port Chalmers. The castle has a history that has taken it to the brink of destruction. At the time the current owners purchased the castle, developers were eying the property and intended to demolish it for a residential development. With views like this, is it no wonder they would have wanted to destroy this magnificent piece of history?

About Terry

I started out as a skip tracer. Just in case you don’t know, that’s the guy who finds the people who don’t want to be found. It was the little things—getting paid to lie—that made skip tracing the fun part of the job.

Those years of chasing deadbeats taught me many valuable life lessons, such as liars come from all walks of life, and always keep your car in the garage.
