Years ago Billy Connelly a famous Scottish comedian did a TV programme on a tour of New Zealand , it was this programme that partly influenced our decision to go there as he visited some very interesting places. One of these places was the Hundertwasser public toilets in Kawakawa. On our journey up to the Bay of Islands we had to pass this town and decided to pay the toilets a visit. As they are toilets that are in use, we had to split up to see them, with me going into the ladies section and David into the gents.
Even though there was no one else in the toilets I still felt strange taking out my camera and taking photos but the toilets were beautiful and so different. There were a lot of bottles , bricks and tiles used to create an interesting and unusual design.
The entrance to the toilets is in the photo below.
Across the road from the toilets is a place called Amazing Spaces, sadly we could only visit part of this as a huge section had been damaged by a landslide. The bits we did walk around were very interesting and colourful.
