... I&#8217;ve no idea of what but some one posted on Facebook that he&#8217;d been given a good memorial. I have fond memories of this man, I mean I don&#8217;t have a lot of fond memories of study at uni, coming close to failing didn&#8217;t exactly fill me with happy memories. <br>Tudor Jenkins though believed in a quietly eccentric physics sort of a way that I could pass and did everything in his power to ensure that myself and others did. I often didn&#8217;t ...

... flight to Queenstown.<br>We were informed in the terminal that there was a difficulty with weather in Queenstown. Mid flight we were informed that the plane was diverting to Invercargill. So we had an unexpected bus trip for 2 hours from Invercargill to Queenstown. The trip began in sunny circumstances then we found that overcast and wet weather was the way the journey would end. Some great views ...

Day1 :We had booked on an Air Newzealand flight from Sydney to Christchurch. The deal was by far the lowest I could find on the internet, this including the so called low cost airlines. The service in the flight was full and even Extra service. The crew was merrily giving away extra booze, snacks etc.So it was great to be flying a national full service carrier at the lowest possible cost.<br><br>The flight across the southern alps snow clad peaks was picturesque. Once at ...

... face that is. Nobody's perfect... We then gave the womenfolk a real treat by throwing them out on the road in the middle of the village to forage for finery. We men forged on and found lodging in the campervan park on the hill above Queenstown. It was quite empty and fairly priced, but were told you had to pay with coin for a hot shower. The dumpsite was crude &amp; messy, but I had nothing to dump - Ha Ha! We walked down the hill for a brew at the Rattlesnake bar (apt name) and were ...

... of the bartenders was from Texas. She agreed with me: it's funny how people complain about Americans when all the music...or almost all the music....the music people like anyways... played in the bars is from the States. It's comical when Kid Rock's song about being on a lake in North Michigan singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long comes on and everyone, English, Irish, Swedish, Kiwi, etc. know all the words (even if ...

... We all piled out of the heated cabin and onto the decks of the boat. Undeterred by the sea spray and the heaving of the deck in the rough seas, we all watched in amazement as the whale swam along the surface. I managed to brace myself against a railing and take a video clip and a few still photos. Keep in mind that whales are like icebergs-the greatest percentage is submerged! The photos show less than 10% of the body of this large animal ...

... a chaque fois il vient voir les course de petit bateaux.. Salut Rick, bon voyage Stephane. C'est ca les vacances. Photos a venir. Quelques minutes plus tard je tombe sur un spectacle en plein air. Trois gars font une reconstitution de l'histoire du cinema a travers des sketchs. Bande sonore pre enregistre, changement de costumes rapides, un peu comme le Groupe Sanguin pour ceux qui s'en ...

... more shopping in the local shops and grabbed a bite to eat. Then Gary and I took a few minutes to stop into the Casino of Christcurch (yes, it is really called that) and played a little roulette. No big win I am afraid, but we had to try :-). Tomorrow we start our drive inland, through the mountains and over to Fairlie where we will visit the sheep farms and stay overnight with a local family. Looking forward to that. Love to everyone...and keep praying for peace.
