Uno Piu Homestead Blenheim

... and from America (one person) and elsewhere, but by far the largest number of people I've met of any nationality is German. I hung out with a German for a bit in Thailand. I'm sharing a room with a German. I played golf yesterday with a German. I'm going to see the new Harry Potter movie tonight with two Germans and a British guy. And they are all different people; no overlap. I even had a conversation with one of the German guys here about it, and he said he has no ...

... autres, Midnight Express, pour les plus vieux d'entre nous). Le camper roule un peu plus lourd depuis notre visite. La région est charmante, nous sommes juste avant les vendanges et les vignes sont chargées de raisins. Et encore une fois on est trouvé un endroit sur le bord de la mer, Cable Bay Scenic Reserve, identifié No Overnight Camping. Évidemment, pas un chat pour nous dire de décamper (c'est pas un jeu de mot). Que le coucher de soleil et le bruit de la mer. Vive la NZ!

... 300m+ steep descent. Whilst walking along a road wasn't as nice it was at least flat and a relatively predictable surface. It was nice to walk along the waters edge - or fairly close. A couple of nice beach moments along the path - it was certainly tempting to take a dip, but the concept of putting the shoes back on once removed wasn't as appealing. After a couple of hours along the road and thinking I still had another hourish to go made the plan to stop at the next bay. Luckily as I ...

... inner-tube as she jumped in the water. (they made us go butt first with the inner-tube on our butts) It was both very funny and a little scary since Cathy doesn't float very easily, or swim as well as she used to. We also stayed in a 100 year old mansion a couple nights, that we're pretty sure is haunted. We were afriad to ask. Then it was off to wine country in Hawke's Bay. We stayed ...

... my expectations for scenery; another place I'll have to come back to. As well as the large river, there were steep forested hills, rocky outcrops and cliffs, and distant mountains to view from lookout sites. After a few photo stops, I had to decide to just drive for an hour to make up time. I only stopped briefly in ...

... nice and has many balconies and patios for it's guests. The place is run by a Canadian, a Torontonian, though he is now a converted New Zealander. The beds are comfortable though the sheets are purple and the room is larger them that in Blenheim. We went into town to go to the I center and see if there were any cave exploring adventures need Nelson. There is one on the way to Tekaka and some more near Greymouth. I really hope I get to go to one of ...

... een water taxi moeten nemen anders worden het drie dagen. Na veel wikken en wegen vind ik het niet de moeite en de kosten waard om deze route te fietsen. 's Ochtends ga ik naar het Edwin Fox museum. Dit museum heeft het oudst bewaarde houten schip dat in mid 1800 gevangenen en immigranten van Engeland naar Australie en Nieuw Zeeland bracht. Een ...

... I will no doubt be tested by the nature of the harvest and crush, and the labor and hour requirements, but these are the experiences that make life so full. Appreciation and peace can be found in some degree, if only after the stress and misery of great tests of endurance. What am I saying? I'll pine philosophical no more.

... and finally board train. The only thing missing is the bookmakers pen. I reckon that they like to elaborate instructions though as they then explained the range of coffees available in the buffet car: Espresso; cappuccino, mocca etc and then stressed that you should mention specifically the type you want when ordering in order to ensure you get the correct beverage. Is this really necessary I wonder, as I stagger ...
