... 20 quid) and he gave me a bag of clubs and a ticket to put on it, looking up, the sky began to darken and sure enough it was p1ssing down by the time I got to the third tee... Wet and cold I pushed on. I managed to get through the 18 holes with the rain coming and going.. Whats happened to the bloody weather ????<br>I'm going to make some noodles and then watch the Sopranos for the rest of the evening - With a couple of beers.<br>Bye Bye ...

... please<br>comment! We would love to hear what you think! It felt more like<br>winter in Dunedin as well &#8211; not just because of the weather &#8211;<br>there were also Christmas lights in the trees which gives it that<br>winter feeling. And there were TONS of ethnic restaurants. Still we<br>had to check out &#8211; the one and only McDonald's. For the past three<br>weeks we have seen McCafe everywhere &#8211; from the ...

... of waiting, I was getting impatient, but finally we saw a tiny little penguin wash up on the beach, and he was soon joined by a couple of mates! They were a lot smaller than I thought they would be, and you can hardly even see them on my photos. But they were a lot clearer in real life and they were so cute waddling along! After a few minutes it was ll over though and we headed north up the coast to find a camp for the night on the way to Dunedin.<br>

... and even a couple of penguins. The following day we headed to the Speight&#8217;s Brewery for a tour. On our way we developed hunger pangs and thus were delighted to see a French woman serving up crepes. To our dismay they tasted like dirty feet. As for the tour of the brewery it was long and ******. On the plus side at the end of the tour we were given 30 minutes of unlimited access to 6 beer taps and were prompted to consume as much as humanly possible. With Eric ...

... opened the door, and had a smile plastered on my face the whole time. I saw how they make the hollow eggs for easter, how they make Moro bars (NZ's most popular bar, sold approx. every 2 secs), how machines make curly whirlies, crunchy bars, and a chocolate waterfall! At every stop where they were explaining things, we got a free chocolate or 2! We weren't allowed camera's ...

... here and then we will head across the bottom of the south island by rental car for a few days to avoid the constant west winds that blow here at 30-50 mph, that with the cold and rain makes for terrible riding the direction we are going. This will allow us to see some of the Catlins that we could not have seen by bike. It is a very beautiful and wild area. It will also keep us on schedule to get to Queenstown by Christmas.

... do get a postcard from us then its due to the nicer than nice NZ people who find a stack of postcards on a vacated cafe table and post them rather than bin them. Its really a psychological test of the Kiwis. Will they pass? The afternoon/evening we had a trip out to the Otago peninsula to view some local wildlife. After some considerable toing and froing with tourists not knowing what they were doing, where ...

... way from previous stops. At the end of the tour we got to drink as much beer as we could in about thirty minutes. We also, of course, made a stop at the gift shop and visited with Keith, the attendant. The next morning brought rain. We had reservations on the train for a 4 hour trip up a very "scenic" gorge. The ride was long, the rain came down, and the man in front of Rex picked his head the whole way up, and down. We are not too sure what he had going on on ...

... gun as a functional concept was the brainchild of Captain Colin Moncrieff, who in the 1860s improved on existing designs and used a counterweight system capable of raising a gun over a parapet, the recoil then allowing it to disappear back into an under cover bunker to be reloaded and aimed again for the next shot.
