... and chatted. It was really picturesque as we sailed through Marlborough Sounds at the top of the South Island. We refuelled in Picton and drove the 13 kms to our campsite however due to the winding road it took ages!!

After a nice relaxing night at a powered site Lee went for an early morning run whilst ...

... loud the cows sounded. I kept hearing them get closer and closer and then Pip's son came in (he lives next door) to get all of us because a gate had been left open and 150 of the cows were now all over the farm, in the veggie garden, out on the street and in the neighbors yards. We got on our gumboots and flashlights and chased cows around for about an hour. Brian only had sandals on so he didn't leave the yard but ...

... deal. Hunters take visitors year-round into the Arctic wilderness. In the fall and winter they go dog sledding or ice fishing. In the spring and summer, the tourists see how the hunting of seal, narwhal and polar bears is done (McConnico). However, while tourists often describe Inuit culture as 'fascinating', they are less enthusiastic to see natives cutting up whales and seals down at the 'colourful ...

... nen aanrader! Ons kamertje is iets minder luxe dan in karibu creek maar voldoende. Het eten is super en Malcolm is nen toffe peer, een beetje verstrooid da wel. En hij was blijkbaar vergeten dat wij kwamen dus veel werk heeft hij ni voor ons. We hebben onze dagen vooral doorgebracht met het maken van ne moestuin en het schoonmaken van het dak van de ...

Got home after a visit to Mitchell's (who was using my DVD recorder to record the programmes we've missed while away) and Pak n Save for a shop, then home. Total transit time was 27 hours, 58 mins and 4 seconds. What a day! What a trip! Did not want it to end and have not taken any photos now that we're home. Till the next trip...

From Wanganui way go south toward Wellington and stop for the night at Paraparaumu. It's a nice town on the beach and we found a nice backpacker near the beach. The next morning we press on toward Wellington. The only good thing that was in this place is that in the morning I could go to the beach and practice.

... in the distance. We saw the sunset from their living room and Susie came home shortly after. After she got home, we walked to the Chinese takeaway place that was 3 blocks away and picked up supper. We got back to the house and had a good time eating and talking about everything under the sun. They wanted to know what we thought about global warming - we said Al Gore conspiracy and they agreed so we had a good talk on ...
