Air New Zealand is an excellent airline. Free movies of your choice on your own screen, wonderful food, pillows and blankets. It was a long flight, but we did get a little sleep. At dinner I asked the server if there was a charge for wine, and he said, "Not at all, fill your boots!"

Well it has been an interesting couple of weeks.........................lots of highs and lots of lows, however, throughout the children have stayed positive and are having a ball :-)<br><br>I dread to think how many hours have been spent in front of the computer looking at houses to rent and buy. The original plan was to rent for 6-12 months and then buy...............as it stands at the moment we change with the wind. One hour we are looking to rent, then 10 ...

The apartment manager phoned us yesterday asking for the cost of damages to the room and spa pool.... Oh dear, it seems we'd broken a blind, the fire extinguisher had mysteriously come off the wall, we'd broken a glass in the spa pool and someone was sick in there too.... Disaster. I tried to ...

... bus open, which exposed the courier mail he was to deliver to Milford. These nortoriously cheeky and very intelligent birds, are known to fly off with stuff and picking at car doors. When he wasn't looking, this bird swooped in from the parking lot, grabbed a letter, and proudly flew off into the Jungle. Funny, but unfortunate, especially because that letter had a passport in it. The peaks around Milford shoot straight up into the sky some 5 to 6 ...

... small portable fridge, full size bed, and air in our lungs we went underway!  We did our best to explore as much as we could of both the north and south island. I have always wanted to do this and what a country to do it in... Our road trip was filled with winding roads nestled amongst rolling green hills and valleys... mountains with incredible tree lines... bright blue skies with clouds hanging so low they look like they are about to scrape the ...

That's not to say we haven't enjoyed the other places, but New Zealand has it all in our eye's and we will go on about it lot when we get back. Next up is Australia and Suzanna will start us off on that Country. Take care everyone and don't forget to let us know what you think, as well as what you're up to. Tobs and Suzanna. xx

Some of the highlights of the cruise were passing the Bean Rock Lighthouse, Rangitoto Island, North Head on Devonport, the Devonport Naval Base, the Harbor Bridge, the Chelsea Sugar Refinery, and Westhaven Marina which is the largest marina in the southern hemisphere ...

... bacak to town, only to find out it had been cancelled so headed back to the rafting place to try catch a lift with them, Anyway the carzy slightly drunk dude said he could run me back in a bit! so i waited with him, took a group out to the team just finished on the water and then headed back to the town with him perving on me the whole way talking about how dolphins and humans and the only mamals that mate for fun, then proceeding to thank me for wearing my ...
