... red one, so with a bit of repacking and shuffling around we were finally allowed to check our bags. The flight to Auckland was approximately 13hrs flying time but we had to sit on the tarmac for about 1/2hr extra after boarding while engineering fixed a door that didn't appear to be closing properly ( a limit switch wasn't reading apparently). They must have got it right as we got home and the door wasn't a problem. This caused us to be late arriving in N ...

... Tosi mielenkiintoista katsella villejä eläimiä omassa ympäristössään, eikä eläintarhassa. Pingviinit mitä nähtiin ovat harvinaisimpia pingviinejä maailmassa ( 5500-6000 yksilöä). Nimi on Yellow-eyed Penguin on yksi pingviinilajeista, joita on maailmassa 18 erilaista. Merileijonia taas on maailmassa 5 eri lajiketta ja jos niitä haluaa bongailla niin ne viihtyvät aina hiekkarannalla. Päivät ...

... mouth of the Tahakopa river. Coastal Podocarp (pine type tree with needle-like leaves) forest fringed the sandy bay. Also there were many impressive tree ferns amongst the podocarp. Cathedral caves which rise to over 30 metres in height were our next stop and there is a good photo of Chris silhouetted near one of the entrances. We camped at Curio Bay camp site right next to the petrified forest - this is one of the world's most extensive example of a Jurassic fossilised ...

... for slower news days. Only a few Xmas trees...and shabbily but simply decorated...the women of Dallas would be lost. Kiwis are also more frugal than in the states...presents are exchanged, but are simple very sincere,often handmade,and are not found in vast heaps. It is the time of summer vacation and all schools are out for 2 months or so...businesses close for a couple of weeks and everyone goes on holiday. . XMas day is for a big ...

... which of course the Christchurch penguins didn't need to worry about. The girl from Amsterdam , who's named I am unable to pronounce let alone spell , was very disappointed at not seeing the Blue penguins. So I suggested she visit the Antarctic Center in Christchurch, which she said she would try to do when she got there later in her trip. We headed back to the van to go to see the Fur Seals and crossed with Sean's group on the path. Tom explained to Sean about the Sea ...

... t be surprized to know that i've already highlighted Lonely Planet's travel guide to Queensland front to back. we had a week-long stretch of really nice weather here in dunedin--about 70 and sunny--and i was LOVING IT. but of course that's since faded and it's back to cool days (~50) and cold nights (~40?) and i am forced once again to go to bed with my hot water bottle and dream about lying on the beach in the hot sun. but soon!!! i am counting down!

... hill. I just said "sorry, I'm so unfit!" ;-) Got chatting to Monika and she was really into her photography too, so we were comparing cameras and shots. I ended up learning quite a bit more about my camera. I got dropped off and went and found some dinner. Then headed to the Irish pub where they had some live music on. Well, a couple of young lads playing guitar. One of them sounded like the Crowded House blokie, Neil Finn. I had a well deserved pint of Guiness then crashed out!

Otago poolsaar on looduse poolt vormitud vulkaaniliste mõjude abil; mitmes tipuosas paiknevad kivid, mis arvatakse olevat pärit u 10-13 milj aastatagusest ajast! Poolsaar on 30 km pikk ja max 12 km lai. Autoga ringisõites oli küll kohati päris hirmus tunne, sest teed on ehitatud väga kitsastena, kuna suure osa enda alla võtab mägine maastik ja teerajad kulgevad seega mäe küljel. Poolsaar oli meie jaoks üks mõnus rahunautimise paik. Sellisel ajal olime meie ...

... Dunedin is hilly before - because it really is - its so hilly that the worlds Steepest Street is here (we're going tomorrow).

So heading back into town down this massively steep street was rubbish I was not looking forward to walking back up it later as we were headed to the Speight's Brewery Tour, and if its anything like the Monteith's one I did a few weeks ago I was gonna be drunk!!!

It wasn't anything like the Monteith's one! It wasn't as personal, there ...
