p.s Congrats to Viv (& Den) on her
white water rafting efforts. We're suitably impressed!


Pozdrowienia z antypodow!

Juz jestesmy w Wellington ponad tydzien, wiec przyszla pora na krotkie sprawozdanie.. Otoz - wciaz zadne z nas nie ma pracy, ale przynajmniej Kirsty chodzi na rozmowy - przeciaga sie to strasznie ale jestesmy dobrej mysli. Na tyle dobrej ze po dlugiej tulaczce w koncu osiedlismy w jednym miejscu ...

... war dance and the Hakka in front of you and then you accept gifts etc…..you start shaking in your pants when you see the size of these guys and laughing is very disrespectful as well as turning your back. This was very powerful and a great experience. This was followed by a play by the Maori and then a massive feast where the food is cooked underground (hungi style). Returned into town and then headed to the Lava bar/club to dance the night away.

... from Ben's poor sense of direction.

A quick stop at the supermarket to get supplies for the next day then we realise we're running a bit late for our Bowling booking at 8pm. The hotel bar has a meal deal on on Mondays so we think this could be a good plan and head there for dinner and then on to Bowling.

It certainly was an interesting game with many tips for Alex as it turned ...

... Aber wenn ich ein indefinite returning visa habe ist das so gut wie ein neuseelaendischer Pass. Dann kann ich NZ fuer 10 Jahre verlassen und wieder nach Neuseeland kommen und hier wieder leben/arbeiten/etc ohne jeglichen Papierkram. Mein Wohnungskauf macht keine Fortschritte, im Moment kommt nichts neues auf den Markt. Die Wohnungen auf dem Markt werden nicht gekauft, aber gehen auch nicht im Preis runter. Die Zentralbank senkt die Zinsen, die Banken erhoehen aber die Zinsen ...

6th April 2009 Not such an early start as we head north along the Kaikoura coastline for the final time, making a short stop in Blenheim before continuing our drive to Picton ferry terminal to catch the 1.05pm ferry. We say farewell to the South Island and head for new adventures in the North, 1st stop Wellington, the capital city. Wellington is located directly on a major earthquake fault line and has a ...

... Eastern mix of ground hazelnuts and spices - cumin,coriander and cardamom - to be eaten with bread dipped in locally grown and pressed olive oil. Hmm get that recipe! Six wineries later (Elinor imbibing less than me since she is the DD) we count our spoils - a sauv blanc, riesling, a devine gewurtz ( so smooth and fruity without being sweet) and at $40 our way most expensive purchase. Also a bottle from Spy Valley Wineries so named for the US ...

... I've had on the trip so far. It will take a hell of a lot to top that though so might be my number one of the trip. After dinner we had a few beers and watched the sun setting over the sea. It's easy to take things like this for granted when you are seeing so many different places but I am trying to take everything in and enjoy each experience as they come along. We went to bed below deck after a few beers as the sun tires you out.

... Organitzem diversos tours a traves de l'OIT i, farem un bon dinar, un bon cafe a la tarda amb apple pie. Es l'hora tambe d'organitzar el ferry per anar a l'illa sud. Un bon supar i esperar que pari de ploure! en principi dema ha de fer mes bon temps!!! Toquem fusta!!! o ferro!!! 16.02.2009 Wir fahren los und fahren nach einer Weil die Otaki Gorge Road entlang. Diese fuehrt am Otaki Fluss vorbei durch Waldgebiet und am Ende der engen Schotterstrasse kommt man an einem ...

... it did take us to some of the most beautiful sights I could ever have dreamed about fishing in. Another positive thing that came out of our time on the water was that Becs mastered her casting. She has got it waxed and looks like a pro (and now she actually enjoys going fishing, rather than getting frustrated and shouting at Brad.) Obviously would have loved to catch more fish, but would do it all again tomorrow. We have definately eaten enough ...

... the South and took ferry over to Stewart Island. Hired out little moped/motor scooter things which were brilliant! Established I have very little balance though!! Stunning beaches and as we climbed over rocks a huge sealion walked right in front of Laura! They say u shouldn't get to close but I couldn't help it! In the evening we walked to penguin viewpoint. Somehow missed them all come ashore. but as we walked back through forest, could hear them in nests ...
