Holiday Fun

The New Zealand ‘Bach’ or beach home is a core part of kiwi culture. Traditionally a pretty basic wooden hut built on the coast as a holiday home for the family. Apparently they took off in the 50’s as the masses gained the means to have regular vacations at the seaside. There are some more modern versions around now but many of the older ones are still going and they’re still very popular. Anybody going to the beach for the weekend will either have their own family bach, they’ll try and get into their friends bach or finally failing that they’ll rent one. Just spent last night in one… …interesting.
