New Zild Tattoo
Hi there, Sam got it done at the Dermagraphic Studio in Ponsonby, Auckland in early 2010. It cost him in the region of $400 - $450, but prices might have gone up since then. cheers

I soooo apologise mate.
Bro, it's a sad thing when you can't go to a humble little town and receive some hospitality let alone a decent cup of coffee. My mother has land there and my wife and I are going to return there, children in tow and I can most certainly assure you that the next time you are there, I'll make you the best coffee you've ever had.

This was a blast from the past for us!
Hi Mike and Sam Sorry to hear that your little Fraser had to go to the Car Hospital, but it looks like you had a great day on the Taupo A1 circuit in the borrowed car. Seeing the Frasers brought back great memories of our little Caterham 7 which we had in Guernsey quite a few years ago, she was a little beauty with a British Racing Green exterior and a red leather interior, so we named her ''Stuffed Olive'' and boy did we have some fun in her. We hope your Fraser makes a full recovery soon and you make it round the Taupo track in her next year! Best wishes Lynne and Kev

Molesworth Road
We have just returned from a 2 day tour through Molesworth - I admire you cycling the road - but can imagine the enjoyment you had in doing so. We travelled from Hanmer to Blenheim and then the next day from Blenheim over to St Arnuds and down the Rainbow Station Road eventually arriving at Lake Tennyson and onto Hanmer. That is an AMAZING trip and the Lake is beautiful - like all South Island lakes are. Would recommend this trip to everyone.

Downhill Buzz
Yes, a biike sled. Another perfect use for the footstool. I'm sad to have to report the stool is of little use for anything right now, stored under the house for the next adventure. Hope you're touring is going well Maria, I will check your blog for an update. regards, Mike

Hey what about snow? Imagine, you are camping on a mountain. You wake up next morning - 30 cm of snow. The solution would be easy: just take your footstool upside down, take a place, grab your bike and sledge down! Might be fun ...

Me - Raving?
You must be confused. How could I "rave" about a plastic seat?

Dad, I definitely think you need the seat. From the very beginning at Muriwai you were raving about that thing, and judging by the excellent pictures, it came in handy the whole trip!

The Great White Hunter!
Hi Gordon, I thought this might be the area planned for wind turbines. Don't call me a greenie, but I must say I'm glad it's being left the way it is - it has a mood all of its own up there. I can imagine the shooting was enjoyable - much more appropriate use for the land. As for the weather, here's a wimpy Aucklander that can't even comprehend what it must be like in the depths of winter. Cheers, Mike

And I certainly don't include Ford vans in my criticism of camper vans/motor homes (what is the difference anyway?). A lot of these people need to get off their backsides and join the world - what are they afraid of? There they go: averted eyes, windows tightly sealed, photo stops without getting out, bikes hanging off the back that never get ridden - oh dear, i must stop before my prejudices run away with me. After all that, glad you've enjoyed the blogs - it's been fun doing them.

Have just travelled the Whanganui River Rd (Feb 2012)- had always wanted to visit Jerusalem - to pay homage to James K Baxter, see this place where he had lived and died. Disappointed and quite shocked that there is no acknowledgement of him there, that his resting place should be so overlooked. Perhaps he or his family had wished it to be so but if not, then I think its very sad indeed. I wasn't lucky enough to find someone to direct me to the house & gravesite, so very grateful that you have posted the photos - consolation that at least I now know what was there.
