blog Awesome catching up with you cuz - you havn't changed a bit (well maybe just a little, we all have eh!!) Lovely to meet you wendy please come visit again soon. One last thing, before len books anymore trips, I think you two need to talk about daimonds - if the woman can build a deck like that, she must be a keeper!.......always good to add to the family!!!!!
IT WAS GOOD !!!! It was great have you and Wendy, and on behalve of all your Relies,make sure it's not another 20 years before you come again!!
Take care and relive the many memories of your lrip around NZ.
To Anon Thanks for the tip. And yes the food was fantastic. Sorry but our seafood has nothing on theirs! I've just read over this entire blog, it does sound like we approached the trip as a major food fest doesn't it!
Jade & Boat Hey Erica, yes we bought a bit of Jade and just a few other trinkets I'll make sure Len includes some photo's.
Hi Chris, Len was kinda devestated that he didn't get to do any fishing. I think another trip is in the work - without me as fishing is not my thing. It was hot but the water mostly was freezing so no beach swimming but we did do a bit at the Polynesian Spa hot pools. Highly recommended! Cheers Wendy
Sand flies Not telling who this is but haemorrhoid (had to look up that spelling) cream is great treatment for sandfly bites! If you can bring yourself to ask for it in the chemist!
Whinging ba$tard Sturth your a whinging ba$tard. Your suppose to be over there as some kind of missionary educating these simple folks in the ways of the western world!!!!!! Mind you that ferry ride is grouse!!!! The day we did it they were gunna cancel the ferry and put us all on RNZAF C-130's!!! It was that rough.
Some those dumplings sounded nice. Bring a bag of those home.
Have ya's been fishing yet? What about a bit of deering? Get a chopper in into the hills and chase the pigs as well.
Have you found a nudist beach yet? Apprently there are some good ones over there. Erica and I are interested in going to one!!!!!! "Ouch" Erica's just given me a slap.
See if you can find one of those Maori things, it's like a small club. I've got one made out of whale bone. There was some made out of jade. They looked grouse.
I'm 39 yo RM professional who hasn't had a holiday in over 2 years. I so need one. Therefore I'm now off for a fly/drive holiday to the land of the long white cloud, New Zealand. Here's the story... full info
