Otago Anniversary Dayd in 2023

“Today we don’t have kōhanga bc of Otago Anniversary Day, which is a day to say when the English came to Otago.” “But you and me aren’t English, we’re Māori?” “We are Māori, and we are also English. That’s why our skin is pale.” “Mm, that’s why I don’t have to wear sunscreen.” https://t.co/JhMQqE4s0v

The annual cavalcade—with this year being the 30th anniversary—attracts hundreds of horse riders, horse drawn wagons, cyclists and walkers for up to five days, over various trails that meander through stunning Central Otago back country.

It's Otago Anniversary weekend and for this I am grateful. One of the kids is sick and I'm sitting on the couch, watching Peppa Pig with them and not stressing about marking.
