Last night the Blue Penguins were really cool.  No pictures because we didn't break the rules of no Photography.
But, about 60 came ashore at sunset.  Crossed the beach and met up with spouses or babies and waddled around after a full day of feeding at sea. 

This AM we drove up through a very flat area and arrived at Mt. Hutt.  It is about 6000 ft and comes out of  no where.  Very interesting land around here.  Mountains,  gorges, plains, oceans.  Plots of land are devided by hedge rows of popular, hemlock, pine and all well trimmed.

Today we arrived at a golf resort.  Signed in to our villa, golfed, and got internet and a washer and dryer.  Life is great.

We have 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a dining room.  What could  you want?  we have a view of the Mt. Hutt and the golf course.  Perfect!
Tomorrow golf here again and then  on to Christchurch the following day.  Then bye bye NZ and hello Australia! 
Later, the travelers.

Leaving NZ
Dear Happy Traveling Retirees:

Have a safe and uneventful flight to Australia. I'll be anxious to know what you think of the two different countries. Which one you guys liked the best.

Just following the political season. Not much else doing. Have fun on your next big adventure!!!

Love, Linda
