Hi everyone,
With overseas tourists set to return to NZ shortly, we're looking at doing a light-hearted piece on the odd questions Kiwis have been asked about NZ. You may have seen the post doing the rounds on social media at the moment asking whether English is spoken here and suggesting NZ is a state of Australia (see below). Have you ever been asked anything surprising about NZ? Feel free to message me or comment below. Please put 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you do not want it or your name included in the article. Thanks very much for your help and happy travels.

This port-a-cot is actually a 3 in 1 as you can see from the photos.

You can use it as a bassinet for a new born, next size is until they are crawling and pulling themselves up, then the last is obviously the next size up.

Very good condition, hardly used and no longer needed, comes with extra foam mattress that has no marks or stains on it and a mattress protector to go over it. I also have a mosquito net to go over the top.
