Re: Yay! Hi Chris - thanks for the comment! Yup, we visited the Church of the Good Shepherd on day 33 - its a very picturesque place set but I wasn't quite in the right mind to appreciate it fully as I'd just received an email about my grandads death. As for the photos - struggling to find time to upload! Oh, and we couldn't afford to do the antartic center either due to our budget!
You'll be back, believe it! Hi u2, We are back in N Zealand in Feb, this time to the north island, before meeting up with Graham and Jane in Nelson. I wish we'd done the south island years ago and had the chance to try all the activities you did. Hope Australia provides just as many memorable experiences.
Good on ye both!
love jeff and Anne

Yay! Hi guys,
Following your progress with great interest. You seem to be having a great time - but we need MORE PICTURES!
Did you ever get to the Church?
If you're still in Christchurch - go visit the Antarctic Centre (I think it's over by the airport) - it's fun way to spend an hour or two!
Great blog!

Re: And the bravery award goes to.... ....The bravery award should probably go to Shelley! I kacked my pants! Yeah pictures are a pain to sort out: finding decent computers, with card readers or dvd readers - and trying to find time is nuisance too (there are much better things to be doing then spending our time travelling on the internet!)

After leaving University and joining the salary club for the last 4 years, we both decided to take some time out and explore some of the world while we can. We've been on many a european holiday, but our trip to Peru in 2005 made us even thirstier to seeing more of the world. Now, our 3 month journey through New Zealand, Australia and Thailand begins...
