After that we visited great uncle Arthur and aunty Margaret. Aunty Margaret, still a Londoner (as she likes to refer to herself) after over 60 years spent in New Zealand, is such a great story teller, full of fun, wit and that sense of humor that so many people lack, at her full 91. And uncle Arthur, a year junior, is a great cook (he made these really delicious cookies). She says that what keeps her that way is the double jin at 5 pm every day. And the day we met wasn't an exception. I kept her company and we had 4 double jins between the two of us... ha~ I promised to buy her a good bottle of jin (need not to forget this). The relationships between young and old are so diffirent over here in comparison with Korea and even Uzbekistan, so much more relaxed and casual. It really feels that the age plays no role and matters nothing. You could have any conversation and laugh at many things together. It's great.

We stayed a night at this real mega million dollars farm (family friends) in Napier. The
original house was 100 years old and got completely burnt about 10 years ago, so, they've rebuilt it almost the same as it was. On the farm they've got breeding horses, cows, sheep, deers and lots and lots of land.This is the view on the house and surrounding valley from the hill.
House from the front. (Can you see Katy there with Ivanka?)
View on the house from behind.
On the hill next to the house.
This is where they shear sheep twice a year. And it smells like Tashkent Zoo....
Three different views from the hill.
