I think even I wouldn't mind hanging out the clothes if it was in a garden like that. Hope you enjoy the next six weeks at your home away from home.
The beard......I think you should get the razer our again!
Hey guys! I totally forgot about your lovely blog until...today. Looks like everything is going well on your trip! I think I would be terrified of the chickens/roosters but I'm glad to see you guys have made friends with them (minus possibly the rooster). Anyway, talk to you guys soon!

The Beard? Duane...I'm not to sure about the beard/what has now become the goatee. All I can for sure say is that its not quite as sweet as Captain Jack Sparrow's in the Pirates movies!
loving the pictures The flowers are beautiful! I would totally be taking lots of pictures of them too. The scenery looks great and it's good to hear you guys are out enjoying the scenic hiking ("tramping") adventures NZ has to offer. The pic of the penguin crossing is also pretty funny.
The Amish look Looks like a fabulous place!! I'm sure Charlotte will enjoy tending to the flowers and cats. In reference to your Amish beard, well now it looks like THE CHICKEN FARMER look.
Amazing pictures....the water looks so clean and clear. The dolphins are awesome. Looks and sounds like you are both having a great time. Keep on blogging!
Hi Owen! Owen, we did swim with the baby sharks, some of our friends saw the sharks while we were snorkelling. We only saw them from our balcony. We saw lots of fish that were bright-colored like Nemo!
North Island Hoppin' Hey you two! Hot Water Beach is nice, but Cathedral Cove (nearby) is even better! A nice little hike in and then two beautiful beaches and white cliffs. If you get a chance, try to get to Mt. Manganui too! There's a really nice beach with surfers and everything, a great place to get up on a new board.
Happy Birthday! Happy B-Day Duane! These pictures are amazing! Your adventures are making me want to travel sooooo bad! Good luck in New Zealand and i look forward to many more blogs!
Sweet Holy smokes this looks Fun. I was looking to see when Hailey's and Owen's swimming lessions ended and low and behold...it is Duane's birthday. Duane you old Dog, Happy birthday. Your wish came true the Saints have won 3 in a row!! Sasktchewan did elimate the Eskimos but since you are kind of begining to like Saskatchewan a bit more anyway all is good!! Keep rockin dudes!!
on and on the story goes... Well we are gunna travel around a bit first, then early Dec-mid Jan we are Housesitting in Dunedin on the Southeast tip of the South Island, then we will end up where the wind blows...
Great pics!!! Char you look so cute with the coconut. Duane, I take it back - no one could mistake you for a lady with that nasty thing growing on your face. The food looks delicious!!! Especially the pineapple concoction.
Charlotte and I decided that we would like to work in a different part of the world to see how another country might differ from Canada. We decided to work in New Zealand, but on our way there we will be spending 25 days in China and about 22 in Thailand.... full info

I don't think the new beard is any better or worse than the original. Consider it a lateral step in the ugly spectrum.
