Lake W
Refreshing,beautiful and bloomin chilly!
am writing on borrowed time here as the internet cafe hasnt noticed we've run out of credit! Things are great in new zealand, today has been taken up with recovering from the huge walk we did which marc has told you about. it was really really beautiful (king kong style 'beautiful' for ay one that has seen it!). my favourite bit was waking up on the last day in our camp by the lake and jumping straight in for a very chilly swim with the mountains towering over, ducks swimming by and a hot chocolate waiting to be drunk. Recovering from the jaunt now, seemed to have picked a cold up from somewhere but planning to eat as much as i can to get over it! Going to get familiar with some history of gisborne now and it 'founder' Captain Cook before heading out into the wilderness of the east cape to hopefully be one of the first places to see the sun rise for the day. as long as we can get out of bed in time that is! Well as marc beat me to it for putting a web blog on again i'll sign out now, next time i'll get in there first! A big thank you for the christmas money from the family, written thank yous on the way. Love claire x

We salute your coming to visit our photos and anecdotes. In addition this blog ... full info
