Goodbye NZ
... with it now after having lived here and seeing what a huge part of the culture it is.
This week has been really busy saying goodbye to people and getting everything orgasined. We've sold pretty much all of Andrew's stuff. His house is being rented out and we've sold all the contents of it and his car. He is now unemployed with no car!
Last night we went out for dinner, it was supposed to be a small occasion with Bev and Steven and Sharon but it turned out to ...
SeaLion - Tick. Penguin - Tick

The view of the Blue Mountains from the kitchen window over breakfast is truly spectacular and despite lovely scenery in southern England, it’s easy to see why Toany emigrated!

Milford Sound is one of the South Islands premier tourist ...

Lighthouse Sunrise & Coastal Sightseeing
This is a top pick!
When we woke up to our alarm at 5am we were a little bit on the edge about getting up (especially since it looked a bit cloudy and that could ruin the sunrise) but we managed to pull ourselves out of bed anyway. We of course took advantage of the showers at the campsite before we left (at which point we were glad we had ended up at a campground because we were skyping Luke, James` brother, at noon and didn`t want to look like such greasy bums).
