Who Knew???

whatnauts, what a shame!! That's the downside of flying at night... you can't see anything :~)

Thanks PJ, I'm so happy you are enjoying the information as well as the puzzles in this series. :~)

I spent three hours in NZ, but it was on a tarmac and during the night, so I didn't see anything other than the airport!!! Thanks for the puzzle, monza.

Mandy - So interesting, beautiful, and very enjoyable. Thanks Wendy for the link - I got some new info there. And Mandy, thank you for creating this wonderful series.

Thanks Katie - I'm smiling broadly that you noticed the coin!!! :~)

Great puzzle Mandy! NZ looks like a fascinating place. I love that you put a coin in there to tie in with this week's theme too. I'm thoroughly enjoying your who knew puzzles!

Thanks Ardy, I'm delighted your enjoying the lessons!!!

Thanks, Mandy for another educational puzzle. If all learning were this fun it would be great.

Thanks Pat, that's cool that you did that... she must have had lots of lawn!!

Good morning Mandy ... Never have been too NZ but a few years ago we picked up 3 of the bigger Kubota mowers and took them over to the east coast to be shipped to Shania Twain (country music singer)at the time she in NZ.. I thought it was kind of neat..

Thanks Barb, I've always wanted to visit NZ - my oldest daughter once went and had a fabulous time, for such a tiny country it has huge variety. I'm so happy to hear you're enjoying the series :~)

Thanks Wendy, I thought that anyone who was interested would go search for further information... thanks for posting that link :~)

Beautiful images of a lovely country, Mandy! Always wanted to go to NZ but never got around to it. Thanks also for the story behind this particular holiday. Your Who Knew series is proving to be a good learning experience as well as fun to solve puzzles, thanks! :-)

I had to check out why there was controversy- and this pretty much covers it...
