WOMAD 2011

Had a wonderful weekend attending WOMAD 2011 in New Plymouth.  Heaps of fun chilling out to awesome music from around the world, and spending time with friends.  Loved the tastes of the world at lunch and dinner times, and trying to skills and meeting new people.

First thing Tom wanted to do at WOMAD - have his photo taken at the "D"
