Flavien trace sa route au sein du cœur brut de la Nouvelle-Zélande

Rien ne garantit qu’un voyage en bus devienne un souvenir impérissable. Sauf quand il se transforme en épopée minérale. Du tumulte d’un trajet partagé avec un inconnu éthylique jusqu’aux cimes du mont Hutt, Flavien enchaîne les kilomètres et les contrastes.

Par une nature à couper le souffle, des rencontres inattendues, des plantes rares, des insectes géants... et surtout une bonne dose de crème solaire. Le récit d’une journée de treize heures où chaque détour est une aventure en soi.

The more I learn about where Windows is going, the more I want to persuade Dad to switch to Linux. But without any (known) retailers or other local support services, what does he do if I'm not available to help?
Are there any such support businesses in the Wellington region? Lower Hutt specifically?

_The Evening Post_, 7 August 1924:
SEA TRIP BY RAILWAY
The #Hutt Valley residents who spend their working hours in the city had a lively experience this morning, for the #railway trip had about it some of the thrills and discomforts of a sea voyage in heavy #weather. The tide being high, water lay deep on some portions of the track, and the enginedrivers were cautious in traversing these sections for fear of the ballasting having been disturbed. But the passengers were less disturbed on this account than by the way the train was splashed. Every now and then a carriage “shipped a sea,” and the crash on the windows and the squirting of the water through the interstices above the frames, effectively interrupted the usual suburban small talk or digestion of the sporting news. Railway passengers have often wondered, no doubt, why there is a small swinging window at the top of the main “sash” in the railway cars, and especially why that little window will not close properly. Hutt passengers can enlighten them. It is a device to break the force of the dashing waves by permitting the water to enter the cars and dowse the passengers.
